A Simple Scilab-Python Gateway

This is a toolbox that allows you call and interact with a Python Interpreter from within Scilab.

** Note that this is a work in progress and may not work as expected on your machine **

The following functions will be available once you load the toolbox:

• pythonInit()

  Initializes the Python Interpreter from within Scilab

• pythonEvaluate(expression)

  Evaluates a Scilab string as a Python expression. Returns output of expression to Scilab console.

• expression = pythonExpression()

  Sets up a prompt for a Python expression so that you do not have to create a string using Scilab functions. Returns a string corresponding to the Python expression which can then be used by pythonEvaluate()

• pythonInterpret(n)

  Starts a Python Interpreter console within Scilab for n lines.

• pythonImport()

  Imports a Python script from the current directory.

• pythonEnd()

  Exits the Python interpreter.
