=One MATLAB(R) Per Child= _An open-source MATLAB(R) to Python compiler_ Author: `Peter Jurica <juricap@gmail.com>` ==Introduction== OMPC (http://ompc.juricap.com) aims to allow effortless reuse of MATLAB code from Python. OMPC is a code adaptation layer that translates MATLAB's m-files into Python compatible syntax. The generated Python compatible code depends on OMPClib which provides MATLAB compatible array interface for Python. The OMPClib interface is another numerical Python library but the only one with indexing based at 1 instead at 0, strict FORTRAN binary interface and copy on assignment. ==Download and Installation== Download the OMPC source code through: http://ompc.juricap.com/ or directly hg clone http://bitbucket.org/juricap/ompc/ View the source code at: http://bitbucket.org/juricap/ompc/ ==Documentation== View the last release API documentation at: http://ompc.juricap.com/ ==Using== To use OMPC simply import it in your Python session. import ompc Importing OMPC installs an import hook that will enable importing of MATLAB compatible files into to current Python session. This means that for example a file 'add.m' can be imported using the following statement: import add The import hooks, upon finding the m-file named 'add.m', call the OMPC compiler that adapts the code for use with the OMPClib and calls the Python compiler to create the resulting 'add.pyc' file. This exactly replicates the result produced by importing a python module.
