It seems pyjulia [GitHub - JuliaPy/pyjulia: python interface to julia](https://github.com/JuliaPy/pyjulia) is the standard package to do this with? As it uses pycall I guess it should be fine to call the function with some arguments being ndarrays (from numpy)? Looking at pyjulia, calling stdlib functions and evaluating julia expressions seems pretty straightforward. But I don’t understand how one is supposed to, let’s say, import a julia function fro…

Edit 2:welcome 🙂
