A lightweight approach for accessing Python modules from Gambit Scheme
summary
Lightweight Gambit–CPython bridge provides a bi‑directional interface to CPython 3.5+ using the CPython C API and Gambit’s C FFI, builds on Linux/macOS/Windows (tested), and runs Python packages from a virtualenv for Gambit. A high‑level six infix reader embeds Python/JS‑like expressions in Scheme with automatic conversions (table↔dict, vector→bytes) and callable Scheme closures via capsule-backed scheme‑procedure stubs; examples include requests, Flask, and a copied TensorFlow tutorial. Work remains on auto-registered converters, GIL/threading, and cross‑platform robustness.
