How Can I Call a Go Routine from Python Without Using C?

Writing a Python Extension in Go

Question:

How can I call a Go routine from Python and avoid the extra layer of C?

Answer:

Currently, this is not possible without external libraries. However, as of Go 1.5, it is possible to build .so objects and import them as Python modules, allowing Go code to be run directly from Python.

Solution using Go 1.5:

• Create a Go package with the desired functionality.
• Build a .so object from the Go package using the go build command.
• Import the .so object as a Python module using importlib.import_module().

Alternative Solution Using gopy:

• Install the gopy package.
• Create a Go package with the desired functionality.
• Use gopy to generate a CPython extension module from the Go package.
• Import the generated extension module as a Python module using importlib.import_module().
