With this work with Dynd, Numpy scikit learn etc and arbitrary python extensions ? That would be amazing :p

Will this run numpy etc?

The project is at a very nascent stage. I am not sure if 0.2 can run numpy put eventually it will.

Appreciate your input. Sounds like I am better off sticking with python for the time being.

What about beautiful soup?

Thanks. What do you think of pycall?

Honestly, I haven't used it. Julia is a curiosity for me at the moment, and my workload (I'm an epidemiologist, and there's a bit of an Ebola crisis at the moment) doesn't allow for experimenting with new languages at the moment enough to have delved deeply into interoperability between Python and Julia.

By interopt, I meant calling python functions like they are julia functions.
