foxpro2python bridge

Call python code directly from foxpro.

foxpro2python is a set of foxpro classes and functions that allow simple execution of python code from within a foxpro program.

Please see the example.prg for some usage examples.

Features

• Automatically converts between basic data types.
• Errors raised in python are automatically raised as foxpro errors.

To use

• Add python.prg to your project.
• Make sure python is installed on the machine or place the python folder(Python27, Python36, etc.) into the working directory of the foxpro program.
• Call the start_python procedure in python.prg with the python folder location (Python27 in the current directory is assumed if no argument is passed)
• Call python functions with the PythonFunctionCall function (e.g. PythonFunctionCall('random', 'randint', CreateObject('PythonTuple', 5, 20)) is like calling random.randint(5, 20) in python)
• Get items and attributes with obj.getitem and obj.getattr (e.g obj.getitem('key') will retrieve the dictionary item with key 'key')
