Pymacs framework

README file for Pymacs

Pymacs is a powerful tool which, once started from Emacs, allows both-way communication between Emacs Lisp and Python. Pymacs aims Python as an extension language for Emacs rather than the other way around, and this asymmetry is reflected in some design choices. Within Emacs Lisp code, one may load and use Python modules. Python functions may themselves use Emacs services, and handle Emacs Lisp objects kept in Emacs Lisp space.

The Pymacs manual (either the HTML one or the PDF one) has installation instructions, a full description of the API, pointers to documented examples, to resources, and to other Pymacs sites or projects.

The official distribution (read the release notice) is available at:

Some older distributions, and maybe beta pre-releases for testers, might be available in this directory:

There is a reachable copy of my own sandbox repository for Pymacs. To get your own copy, use:

git clone git://github.com/pinard/Pymacs.git
