Howdy folks
I am new around these parts and looking forward to getting stuck
into some D development. Really liking it so far, just one some
questions though... I am working on a project that did not sit
well with me when I tried it in Python. I need static typing
(above and beyond MyPy, as nice as that is) and the extra speed
from D is a bonus.
However, there are some nice libraries in Python I would still
like to use (Spacy for example) and I have played around with Pyd
to see if I can get it working with Python 3.x. Unfortunately the
documentation and examples in the Pyd repo presume more knowledge
than I have. I have looked around this forum and there are
tantalising snippets of conversation that suggest Pyd will work
with some C based extensions of Python... I just cannot get it to
work myself.
So does anyone have any sample code, pointers or tips on using
Pyd with something like Spacy? Is this possible, or even
desirable?
I have a fallback position for now in that I can wrap my Python
scripts in something like Fire
(https://google.github.io/python-fire/guide/) and create an
external process from D, but that seems a bit less efficient.
Either that or REST services/ZeroMQ middleware, but they all add
complexity.
Idle speculation and suggestions welcome!
Cheers
Seamus
