A Lua Script plugin for Xojo

A Lua script interpreter that you can plug into your application to use to give your users ability to script your applications.

• Xojo built application can run the Lua script as whole or call separate functions within the Lua script.
• Lua scripts can call Xojo functions that you register to be visible to Lua scripts.
• Xojo built application can read and write global variables from a Lua script.
• Its easy to make functions to allow Lua script to manipulate your Xojo objects.
• You can create Lua classes from Xojo code.

Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language
On Linux and Mac OS X it takes little over 200 kb when compiled into your application. On Windows it takes little over 300 kb.

Lua is proven and robust language
Lua has been used in many industrial applications, with an emphasis on embedded systems (e.g., the Ginga middleware for digital TV in Brazil) and games (e.g., World of Warcraft). Lua is currently the leading scripting language in games. Lua has a solid reference manual and there are several books about it. Several versions of Lua have been released and used in real applications since its creation in 1993. Lua featured in HOPL III, the Third ACM SIGPLAN History of Programming Languages Conference, in June 2007.

Lua is fast
Lua has a deserved reputation for performance. To claim to be "as fast as Lua" is an aspiration of other scripting languages. Several benchmarks show Lua as the fastest language in the realm of interpreted scripting languages. Lua is fast not only in fine-tuned benchmark programs, but in real life too. A substantial fraction of large applications have been written in Lua.

The Lua script engine Lua is designed, implemented, and maintained by a team at PUC-Rio, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Lua was born and raised in Tecgraf, the Computer Graphics Technology Group of PUC-Rio, and is now housed at Lablua. Both Tecgraf and Lablua are laboratories of the Department of Computer Science of PUC-Rio.

A Python Script plugin for Xojo

(This Xojo plugin is to use against Python 3.4.x, Python 3.5.x, Python 3.6.x, Python 3.7.x, Python 3.8.x and Python 3.9.x, use our other Python plugin if wanting to connect to Python 2.7.x)

A plugin to make your applications scriptable by Python.

• Xojo built application can run the Python module functions and or classes.
• Python scripts can call Xojo functions that you register to be visible to Python scripts.
• New classes can be registered from Xojo that Python will see.
• Handles many kind of return types and parameters, including multiple return values and key-ed multiple return values.
• Xojo built application can read and write variables from Python modules and classes.
• Its easy to make functions to allow Python script to manipulate your Xojo objects.
• Python console output can be re-directed to your own class which can write it out in any way you want.
• The plugin can give feedback on existance of Python gracefully.
• The plugin can load Python from alternate paths, such as for example to load Anaconda Python.

Python is powerful... and fast;
plays well with others;
runs everywhere;
is friendly & easy to learn;
is Open.
