interfacing with Python using Perl

[Andrew Gaffney]

I don't know Python and I really have no desire to learn it, but I do have a decent amount
of experience with Perl. Is there a module(s) that will let Perl interface with existing
Python code/modules? Specifically, I want to write a Perl program to use Gentoo Linux's
Portage API which is written all in Python.

I believe you can do just that with Inline::Python, on CPAN.

It's from 2001, though... just so you know...

It still looks promising. I'll have to learn a tad of Python, but not much more than the
syntax for importing functions and classes. Thanks.
