Would python interop be faesible?

[dazinator]

I read about Edge recently.

It allows NodeJS programs to interop with .NET - including IronPython - which can be used to execute python scripts.

Perhaps there are other ways for NodeJS to interop with python without involving .NET? I did see a few but they looked like they spawned child processes which looked.. nasty.

I have absolutely no idea whether this would be a valid approach for your port but I immediatley thought perhaps creating some sort of interop with the python parts of tensorflow rather than a full translation of python into c++ might be a viable?

I have no real expertise in this area, just raising so someone with some expertise can either look into further or immediately shoot this idea down! :)

@dazinator Python API provides some features other than current C++ API. We are also seeking a better way to do it. You can also see other discussion threads, the people developing another language binding are also discussing about it. See here

The first step that we should wrap C++ API first. We will release the proposal and current progress in the next week, just keep tracking here. =] We are looking forward to accept pull request from you all.
