PyJulia is an awesome interface to Julia from Python and seems to be the ultimate “gateway drug” for Python communities, to inject some Julia speed into their software without having to disrupt the frontend API. It’s apparently used by over 280 repositories according to GitHub, and I’ve personally f…

Python’s package ecosystem is just much bigger, so Julia users will resort to PyCall far more often than Python users resort to PyJulia. Even when the choice of libraries between the 2 languages are more even, people might base their code more in Julia to benefit from the optimizing compiler. The sy…

seems to be the ultimate “gateway drug” for Python communities, to inject some Julia speed into their software without having to disrupt the frontend API Yes. Of course in an open-source project something like “by the Julia team” is rather nebulous. PyJulia is not getting much attention at the m…

This is a good question. Let me bring in the human element here. The person who has been maintaining PyJulia, Takafumi, is still very active in the Julia community, but he’s just been doing other things, namely reworking many of the multithreading constructs. Aqua, something that has arguably become…

[image] MilesCranmer: PySR ’s Julia interface uses PyJulia, and has been downloaded 135,000 times. Oh this is a bit of a tangent (mods feel free to throw this into a different thread :sweat_smile:), but you might have a useful case for measuring something so I wanted to document it. Pypi meas…

Is that yet another example of competing efforts in the Julia ecosystem where some of the authors leave the Julia community and their packages die? Can someone share the history of PyJulia and PythonCall.jl? What has inhibited the authors from collaborating into a single repository? Is their approac…

You can read the announcement here, where some of the differences were discussed. [image] [ANN] PythonCall and JuliaCall Package Announcements PythonCall & JuliaCall I’m very pleased to finally announce these packages on here. They have existed for quite some…

Thank you @albheim . From a quick scan of the first post and announcement, it seems that a few issues were fixed and more conversions between Julia and Python types were added. I wish I had more time to dive deeper into the differences, but I am guessing that this is another case where features could…

Thanks everyone for the helpful replies. I will consider switching to JuliaCall. It looks like it doesn’t currently support M-series macs so I can’t test it out just yet: Juliacall on Apple M1 · Issue #175 · cjdoris/PythonCall.jl · GitHub , but once it is supported I will try. Thanks for linking the …

[image] juliohm: Is that yet another example of competing efforts in the Julia ecosystem where some of the authors leave the Julia community and their packages die? No, this is not the case in any sense. S.G. Johnson and Takafumi are still super productive, but spread thin. PythonCall is a fr…
