Re: Call Python from NCL

I'm afraid there's no way to do this, unless somebody else has written such an interface.

You might be able to use a method similar to calling Fortran from NCL, except instead of
the NGCALLF line which calls the Fortran routine, you would need a line to call the Python code.

You can look at an example I added recently showing how to call a C code from NCL.
This method "cheats" by using a Fortran stub to create a C wrapper code with
"wrapit77", and then you can modify the wrapper as needed.

See:

For more gory details about calling C and Fortran from NCL, which might help with the Python interface:
