This package provides a mechanism to embed FORM_ [1]_ [2]_ [3]_ programs in

Python code. The basic idea of the implementation is the same as FormLink_ [4]_:

it utilizes unnamed pipes between FORM and an external program [5]_, Python in

this case. It is expected to work on Unix-like systems.

Installation

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

::

    $ pip install python-form

or directly from GitHub for the latest development version:

::

    $ pip install git+https://github.com/tueda/python-form.git

See also the documentation for `pip install`_.

Example

-------

.. code:: python

    import form

    with form.open() as f:

        f.write('''

            AutoDeclare Vector p;

            Local F = g_(0,p1,...,p6);

            trace4,0;

            .sort

        ''')

        print(f.read('F'))
