As far as I know, [pyjulia](https://github.com/JuliaPy/pyjulia) is currently the only method for calling Julia from Python. What issues/workarounds are you having trouble with?

As far as plans, there [has been some discussion](https://github.com/JuliaPy/pyjulia/issues/134), but no real progress. Unfortunately, bindings _from_ external languages aren’t the most popular thing for people to voluntarily work on, since “people who like to write Julia code” don’t directly benefit themselves from that work (whereas bindings _to_ external languages can still be useful, i.e. PyCall is handy for when there is no existing Julia library). I would guess that this is probably going to require someone to contribute either effort or money to make it happen.
