Scilab2Py: Python to Scilab Bridge
Scilab2Py is a means to seamlessly call Scilab functions and scripts from Python.
It manages the Scilab session for you, sharing data behind the scenes using
MAT files. Usage is as simple as:
>>> sci = scilab2py.Scilab2Py()
>>> x = sci.zeros(3,3)
>>> print x, x.dtype
[[ 0. 0. 0.]
[ 0. 0. 0.]
[ 0. 0. 0.]] float64
...
Features
- Supports most Scilab datatypes and most Python datatypes and Numpy dtypes.
- Provides ScilabMagic for IPython, including inline plotting in notebooks.
- Supports cell arrays and structs with arbitrary nesting.
- Supports sparse matrices.
- Builds methods on the fly linked to Scilab commands (e.g. zeros above).
- Nargout is automatically inferred by the number of return variables.
- Thread-safety: each Scilab2Py object uses an independent Scilab session.
- Can be used as a context manager.
- Supports Unicode characters.
- Supports logging of session commands.
- Optional timeout command parameter to prevent runaway Scilab sessions.
