Loads python, python.list, python.dict, python.set, python.tuple, and python.frozenset.

Basic usage

(require-python ’math) (math/sin 1.0) ;;=> 0.8414709848078965

(require-python ’[math :as maaaath])

(maaaath/sin 1.0) ;;=> 0.8414709848078965

(require-python ‘math ‘csv) (require-python ’[math :as pymath] ‘csv)) (require-python ’[math :as pymath] ’[csv :as py-csv]) (require-python ‘concurrent.futures) (require-python ’[concurrent.futures :as fs]) (require-python ’(concurrent [futures :as fs]))

(require-python ’[requests :refer [get post]])

(requests/get “https//www.google.com”) ;;=> <Response [200]> (get “https//www.google.com”) ;;=> <Response [200]>

In some cases we may generate invalid arglists metadata for the clojure compiler. In those cases we have a flag, :no-arglists that will disable adding arglists to the generated metadata for the vars. Use the reload flag below if you need to force reload a namespace where invalid arglists have been generated.

(require-python ’[numpy :refer [linspace] :no-arglists :as np])

If you would like to bind the Python module to the namespace, use the :bind-ns flag.

(require-python ‘[requests :bind-ns true]) or (require-python ’[requests :bind-ns])

Use with custom modules

For use with a custom namespace foo.py while developing, you can use:

(require-python ’[foo :reload])

NOTE: unless you specify the :reload flag, ..: the module will NOT reload. If the :reload flag is set, ..: the behavior mimics importlib.reload

Setting up classpath for custom modules

Note: you may need to setup your PYTHONPATH correctly. One technique to do this is, if your foo.py lives at /path/to/foodir/foo.py:

(require-python ’sys) (py/call-attr (py/get-attr sys “path”) “append” “/path/to/foodir”)

Another option is

(require-python ’os) (os/chdir “/path/to/foodir”)

prefix lists

For convenience, if you are loading multiple Python modules with the same prefix, you can use the following notation:

(require-python ’(a b c)) is equivalent to (require-python ’a.b ’a.c)

(require-python ‘(foo [bar :as baz :refer [qux]])) is equivalent to (require-python ’[foo.bar :as baz :refer [qux]])

(require-python ‘(foo [bar :as baz :refer [qux]] buster)) (require-python ’[foo.bar :as baz :refer [qux]] ’foo.buster))

For library developers

If you want to intern all symbols to your current namespace, you can do the following –

(require-python ’[math :refer :all])

However, if you only want to use those things designated by the module under the all attribute, you can do

(require-python ’[operators :refer :*])
