Re: [Jython-users] hook into nfldb with PythonInterpreter?

[Thufir H. <haw...@gm...>]

Stefan,

thanks for the help.

What if I write a Python script which imports nfldb, and then pass 
messages to that script through PythonInterpreter?  For the first 
iteration of this gateway, I'd just send raw python...if that's even 
possible.


Hopefully that was coherent,

Thufir
