OCaml Interface for Python.

Call initialize () first.

val initialize : 
  ?library_name:string ->
  ?interpreter:string ->
  ?version:int ->
  ?minor:int ->
  ?verbose:bool ->
  ?debug_build:bool ->
  unit ->
  unit

initialize ~interpreter ~version ~minor ~verbose ~debug_build () finds and loads the Python library. This function should be called before any other functions, except if explicitely mentioned. If library_name is given, it is used as the path for the library to be loaded: in this case, version parameters are ignored. If library_name is not given, the library is searched as described below. version should specify the major version number of Python (2 or 3). minor should specify the minor version number. If no version number is given, the version of Python is determined by the output of the shell command python --version. If an interpreter executable name is given, this executable is used in place of python in the previous command line. The library is searched by using pkg-config if available, by considering system paths, and in the directory ../lib relatively to the directory where the python executable is. If the library has been statically linked with the executable, it will be used. When verbose is true (default: false), library filenames that are tried to be loaded are printed on standard error. debug_build specifies whether the Python library is a debug build: if the argument is left unspecified, debug build is detected automatically.

val finalize : unit -> unit

finalize () unloads the library. No other functions except initialize () should be called afterwards.

val on_finalize : (unit -> unit) -> unit

on_finalize f registers f () to be executed when finalize is executed.

val is_initialized : unit -> bool

is_initialized () returns true if the library is initialized (initialize () has been called and finalize () has not been called afterwards).

val is_debug_build : unit -> bool

is_debug_build () returns true if the library is a debug build.

val get_library_filename : unit -> string option

get_library_filename () returns Some filename where filename is the path to the Python library that has been loaded, or None if no Python library has been loaded (for example, if the library has been statically linked with the executable).

val version : unit -> string

version () returns the version of the Python library. E.g. "3.5.1".

val version_major : unit -> int

version_major () returns the major number (the first component) of the version of the Python library, either 2 or 3.

val version_minor : unit -> int

version_minor () returns the minor number (the second component) of the version of the Python library.

type compare = Pytypes.compare =

| LT
| LE
| EQ
| NE
| GT
| GE

type 'a file = 'a Pytypes.file =

| Filename of string
| Channel of 'a

Either a filename or a channel. Channels suppose that the same C runtime has been used to compile both the Python library and the OCaml runtime. Warning: using channels is unsafe if runtimes differ (can lead to segmentation fault).

val check_error : unit -> unit

module Object : sig ... end

General functions to handle Python values

exception E of Object.t * Object.t

E (errtype, errvalue) is a Python error. errtype is the type of the exception. errvalue is the value.

val null : Object.t

The value NULL of the C Python API. null is useful for calling directly the functions of Pywrappers module. The value should not appear when using the functions of the Py module. This value is guaranteed to be the unique value associated to NULL.

val is_null : Object.t -> bool

Py.is_null v is true if and only if v is NULL. Since Py.none is guaranteed to be the unique value associated to NULL, Py.is_null v is equivalent to v == Py.null.

val check_not_null : Object.t -> Object.t

check_not_null v checks that v is not null and returns v. Raises the current Python error as exception otherwise.

val none : Object.t

The value None of Python. This value is guaranteed to be the unique value associated to None.

val is_none : Object.t -> bool

Py.is_none v is true if and only if v is None. Since Py.none is guaranteed to be the unique value associated to None, Py.is_none v is equivalent to v == Py.none.

val set_program_name : string -> unit

Sets the program name (by default, Sys.argv.(0)). The function can be called before initialize () and the value is preserved from one initialization to the other.

val set_python_home : string -> unit

Sets the path of the Python home. The function can be called before initialize () and the value is preserved from one initialization to the other.

val add_python_path : string -> unit

Adds a path to Python search path. The function can be called before initialize () and the value is preserved from one initialization to the other.

val get_program_name : unit -> string

Gets the program name (by default, Sys.argv.(0)). The function can be called before initialize ().

val get_python_home : unit -> string

Gets the path of the Python home. The function can be called before initialize ().

val get_program_full_path : unit -> string

Wrapper for Py_GetProgramFullPath.

val get_prefix : unit -> string

Wrapper for Py_GetPrefix.

val get_exec_prefix : unit -> string

val get_version : unit -> string

val get_platform : unit -> string
