Including python scripts (.py files)

[axsk]

I have a small python script (.py) which defines a few functions that I want to wrap in Julia.
Up to now I was using PyCall with @pyinclude.

How can I achieve this (importing/including a .py file) with PythonCall?

Thank you for your help :)

Not sure if this is a good way to do it, but it works for me now:

const mypy = PythonCall.pynew()

function __init__()
  sys = PythonCall.pyimport("sys")
  sys.path.append(pwd())
  PythonCall.pycopy!(mypy, PythonCall.pyimport("src.pythonscripts.mypy")) # load the mypy.py in that folder
end

function test()
  mypy.test()
 end

Something like this

function __init__()
    pyexec(read(String, "/path/to/mypy.py"), @__MODULE__)
end

function test()
    @pyeval("test")()
end

This differs from your solution in that the file is not loaded as a module. Instead the statements are just executed in some global context specific to your module (hence @__MODULE__). You can then access the results by evaluating statements there, like @pyeval("test").

Or you can access the global context dict directly like this:

const mypy = Ref{Py}()

function __init__()
    pyexec(read(String, "/path/to/mypy.py"), @__MODULE__)
    mypy[] = @pyeval("globals()")
end

function test()
    mypy["test"]()
end
