I want advice - Struggling to Connect Python with Julia

General Usage

Hi everyone I have been experimenting with Julia for a while now mainly because I such as its speed & how well it handles numerical tasks. I wanted to integrate some of my existing Python scripts into Julia but I am facing issue. Also I tried using PyCall which seemed straightforward at first but I keep running into dependency issues & random errors Sometimes the packages work fine other times Julia just throws back errors that I do not fully understand.

I am sure many of you here must have tried combining Julia & Python in your projects so I want to know what your experience has been such as Do you have a preferred method for smooth interoperability Also is it even worth mixing both for long term projects or is it better to stick with one language entirely.

By the way while learning Julia I am also exploring some backend concepts & came across which made me curious about balancing multiple languages at once How do you all handle this without getting overwhelmed.
Thank you.:slight_smile:

Your post is quite vague about what you want to accomplish, can you be more specific about what you have tried and what issues you encountered? Code and output helps.

In terms of managing your dependencies, I’d recommend using PythonCall.jl instead of PyCall.jl since it uses CondaPkg.jl to manage dependencies in a declarative manner similar to Julia’s own package manager Pkg. (Disclaimer: I’m the author of PythonCall and CondaPkg.)

PythonCall.jl also has a corresponding Python package juliacall for the reverse interoperability. They are two sides of the same coin. It uses juliapkg to manage its Julia deps (similar to CondaPkg and Pkg).
