Python language bindings
Currently the following language bindings are supported:
- Java
- Kotlin
- Swift
- Go
It would be nice to add Python to the list, as it's one of the most popular programming languages, and it is often used to process configuration.
A first step towards achieving this may be the creation of a C API, which Python could then wrap:
- #8
+1 for Python Support. A lot of existing configuration systems, dev/infra/code-ops ecosystem leverage python. A python binding would would be a great addition.
See also the discussion regarding a generic C ABI which would be required for a proper implementation of Python bindings.
Seems like pickle basically can do what pydantic does. So maybe pydantic V2 generation would make sense? Could then even go via rust instead of C or just generate pydantic Python and have pydantic/Python handle the underlying rust/C as it already does at runtime.
or am I missing the point?

For those that are interested in implementing a python binding: we just published a specification for our message passing API, and our binary serialization format.
Our documentation can be found here: https://pkl-lang.org/main/current/bindings-specification/index.html
I made python binding and it can be found here:
It is for evaluator only and doesn't have code generation yet. But I hope I can implement it soon. Or pull requests are welcome.
must have! We use python a lot, but none of the supported languages. I guess C, C++ and Rust would be next
@bioball it would be great if you'll respond with your thoughts regarding the implementation of @jw-y - https://github.com/jw-y/pkl-python so it’ll get better chances of getting accepted.
As for Pydantic support, I’ve created an issue at the pkl python repository to discuss it.
