lupa

Lupa integrates the runtimes of Lua or LuaJIT2 into CPython. It is a partial rewrite of LunaticPython in Cython with some additional features such as proper coroutine support.  The features include:

• separate Lua runtime states through a LuaRuntime class
• Python coroutine wrapper for Lua coroutines
• iteration support for Python objects in Lua and Lua objects in Python
• proper encoding and decoding of strings (configurable per runtime, UTF-8 by default)
• frees the GIL and supports threading in separate runtimes when calling into Lua
• tested with Python 2.7/3.5 and later
• written for LuaJIT2 (tested with LuaJIT 2.0.2), but also works with the normal Lua interpreter (5.1 and later)
• easy to hack on and extend as it is written in Cython, not C
