Run Yorick from Python

The pyorick package starts yorick <http://yorick.github.com>_ as a subprocess and provides an interface between python and yorick interpreted code.

Features:

• exec or eval arbitrary yorick code strings
• get or set yorick variables
• call yorick functions or subroutines with python arguments
• get or set slices of large yorick arrays
• terminal mode to interact with yorick by keyboard through python

Most of the data is exchanged via binary pipes between the two interpreters. Yorick runs in a request-reply mode. Python prints anything yorick sends to stdout or stderr except prompts.

See DESCRIPTION.rst <https://github.com/dhmunro/pyorick/blob/master/DESCRIPTION.rst>_ for a complete description of the interface. You can clone or fork https://github.com/dhmunro/pyorick to contribute to pyorick.
