Re: Python on guile version 1.2

[Stefan Israelsson Tampe]

yes we can compile to module ast

python-on-guile compiles to macros in scheme that can be used without compiling python from scheme. It targets

good or excellent interoperability between scheme and python

Yes works on guile 3.0. Also you need the most current dependencies see readme

What do you mean by "now generate python AST from the compiler"?
Do you mean that now python-on-guile can compile the python module
named ast ('import ast')?

Nice!
If I understand correctly, python-on-guile is a first step similar to
Hy [1] but using the Guile compiler tower instead of one of the Python
interpreters, right?

The current version in Guix is 0.1.0-3.00a51a2 using Guile 2.2.
Does it work on Guile 3?

And are the latest dependencies?


All the best,
