Calling Python from q (embedPy)

The embedPy library opens Python to q programmers. This is achieved by loading Python into kdb+ via a C shared object file.

As a result Python variables or objects become q variables or objects and both languages can interact with them. Python code can be embedded within q code, and Python functions can be called as q functions acting on q data.

A full outline of the available functionality and installation instructions can be found in the machine-learning section of this website.
