[Deprecated] Scilab2Py: Python to Scilab Bridge

===================================

This package is officially deprecated, as I no longer have the bandwidth to maintain it.

Scilab2Py is a means to seamlessly call Scilab functions and scripts from Python.

It manages the Scilab session for you, sharing data behind the scenes using

MAT files.  Usage is as simple as:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> sci = scilab2py.Scilab2Py()

    >>> x = sci.zeros(3,3)

    >>> print x, x.dtype

    [[ 0.  0.  0.]

     [ 0.  0.  0.]

     [ 0.  0.  0.]] float64

    ...

Features

--------

- Supports most Scilab datatypes and most Python datatypes and Numpy dtypes.

- Provides ScilabMagic_ for IPython, including inline plotting in notebooks.

- Supports cell arrays and structs with arbitrary nesting.

- Supports sparse matrices.

- Builds methods on the fly linked to Scilab commands (e.g. `zeros` above).

- Nargout is automatically inferred by the number of return variables.

- Thread-safety: each Scilab2Py object uses an independent Scilab session.

- Can be used as a context manager.

- Supports Unicode characters.

- Supports logging of session commands.

- Optional timeout command parameter to prevent runaway Scilab sessions.

Installation

------------

You must have Scilab_ 5.x installed and in your PATH.

This library does not support Scilab 6.0.

You must have the Numpy and Scipy libraries installed.

To install Scilab2Py, simply:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ pip install scilab2py
