sos-lua

SoS Notebook extension for the Lua programming language.

Installation

pip install sos-lua

You will also need a Lua Jupyter kernel installed. This module supports:

• ILua (pip install ilua) - kernel name lua
• xeus-lua (conda install -c conda-forge xeus-lua) - kernel name xlua

Data Exchange

This module supports exchanging the following data types between SoS (Python) and Lua:

Python	Lua
None	nil
bool	boolean
int, float	number
str	string
list, tuple	sequential table {1, 2, 3}
dict	keyed table {a=1, b=2}
set	sequential table
numpy.ndarray	nested table
pandas.DataFrame	table of column tables

Nested structures (tables within tables) are supported in both directions.

Usage

In a SoS notebook, use Lua cells and exchange variables with %get and %put:

# In a SoS cell
data = [1, 2, 3]

# In a Lua cell
%get data
print(data[1])  -- prints 1

# Transfer back
result = {sum = 6, count = 3}
%put result
