Howdy folks

I am new around these parts and looking forward to getting stuck 
into some D development. Really liking it so far, just one some 
questions though... I am working on a project that did not sit 
well with me when I tried it in Python. I need static typing 
(above and beyond MyPy, as nice as that is) and the extra speed 
from D is a bonus.

However, there are some nice libraries in Python I would still 
like to use (Spacy for example) and I have played around with Pyd 
to see if I can get it working with Python 3.x. Unfortunately the 
documentation and examples in the Pyd repo presume more knowledge 
than I have. I have looked around this forum and there are 
tantalising snippets of conversation that suggest Pyd will work 
with some C based extensions of Python... I just cannot get it to 
work myself.

So does anyone have any sample code, pointers or tips on using 
Pyd with something like Spacy? Is this possible, or even 
desirable?

I have a fallback position for now in that I can wrap my Python 
scripts in something like Fire 
(https://google.github.io/python-fire/guide/) and create an 
external process from D, but that seems a bit less efficient. 
Either that or REST services/ZeroMQ middleware, but they all add 
complexity.

Idle speculation and suggestions welcome!


Cheers

Honestly in my opinion PyD looks kinda abounded.
I don’t know how much effort you need to spend to run spaCy.
Just to be sure that you’ve seen this documentation 
https://pyd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

Also probably if you will find C API (as it is written in Cython) 
it will be possible to make bindings for them using dstep, ctod 
or ImportC tools.

Or maybe it is possible to prepare D bindings like someone did 
for other C-like languages:
