Hi Drupal hackers, As someone who loves, admires and respects the fine framework that Drupal is, yet much prefers Python over PHP as a programming language, I suspect I may not be alone. So as an experiment, I've created a module called 'PyBridge', which allows simple Drupal page modules to be written in Python. Module and doco are available from: http://www.freenet.org.nz/pybridge The basic idea is that after installing the module, you can place python modules (say, 'hdlr_fred.py') in a directory, and these will be available via the path 'pybridge/fred'. Within the python module, you can access nearly all the drupal API and globals; I've exploited some Python OO voodoo to make this easy and transparent. The Python module gets spawned via popen, and function calls, variable gets/sets etc are done as a flow of serialised command packets to/from the python process' stdio. You can: - get/set PHP locals/globals - arrays, numbers, strings - call PHP functions - PHP builtins and Drupal API funcs - execute arbitrary PHP expressions and code (and yes, folks, I've included a whole section of security precautions to help people mitigate the risks of this) - return a string, which will be taken as the page content You can't: - retrieve PHP objects - but you can retrieve their attributes and invoke their methods Performance penalty is moderate but not over the top. URL aliases can be used to render the ugly 'pybridge/fred' URIs into something nicer. If this interests anyone, I'd love to hear from you. For someone with good PHP and Drupal API knowledge, this could be spruced up into something quite nice. For example, adding configuration options. Cheers David
