Library interface to Embeddable Common Lisp (ECL)¶

class sage.libs.ecl.EclListIterator[source]¶

Bases: object

Iterator object for an ECL list

This class is used to implement the iterator protocol for EclObject. Do not instantiate this class directly but use the iterator method on an EclObject instead. It is an error if the EclObject is not a list.

EXAMPLES:

Sage

sage: from sage.libs.ecl import *
sage: I=EclListIterator(EclObject("(1 2 3)"))
sage: type(I)
<class 'sage.libs.ecl.EclListIterator'>
sage: [i for i in I]
[<ECL: 1>, <ECL: 2>, <ECL: 3>]
sage: [i for i in EclObject("(1 2 3)")]
[<ECL: 1>, <ECL: 2>, <ECL: 3>]
sage: EclListIterator(EclObject("1"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: ECL object is not iterable

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> from sage.libs.ecl import *
>>> I=EclListIterator(EclObject("(1 2 3)"))
>>> type(I)
<class 'sage.libs.ecl.EclListIterator'>
>>> [i for i in I]
[<ECL: 1>, <ECL: 2>, <ECL: 3>]
>>> [i for i in EclObject("(1 2 3)")]
[<ECL: 1>, <ECL: 2>, <ECL: 3>]
>>> EclListIterator(EclObject("1"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: ECL object is not iterable

Sage Live

from sage.libs.ecl import *
I=EclListIterator(EclObject("(1 2 3)"))
type(I)
[i for i in I]
[i for i in EclObject("(1 2 3)")]
EclListIterator(EclObject("1"))

class sage.libs.ecl.EclObject[source]¶

Bases: object

Python wrapper of ECL objects

The EclObject forms a wrapper around ECL objects. The wrapper ensures that the data structure pointed to is protected from garbage collection in ECL by installing a pointer to it from a global data structure within the scope of the ECL garbage collector. This pointer is destroyed upon destruction of the EclObject.

EclObject() takes a Python object and tries to find a representation of it in Lisp.

EXAMPLES:

Python lists get mapped to LISP lists. None and Boolean values to appropriate values in LISP:

Sage

sage: from sage.libs.ecl import *
sage: EclObject([None,true,false])
<ECL: (NIL T NIL)>

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> from sage.libs.ecl import *
>>> EclObject([None,true,false])
<ECL: (NIL T NIL)>

Sage Live

from sage.libs.ecl import *
EclObject([None,true,false])

Numerical values are translated to the appropriate type in LISP:

Sage

sage: EclObject(1)
<ECL: 1>
sage: EclObject(10**40)
<ECL: 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000>

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> EclObject(Integer(1))
<ECL: 1>
>>> EclObject(Integer(10)**Integer(40))
<ECL: 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000>

Sage Live

EclObject(1)
EclObject(10**40)

Floats in Python are IEEE double, which LISP has as well. However, the printing of floating point types in LISP depends on settings:

Sage

sage: a = EclObject(float(1.234e40))
sage: ecl_eval("(setf *read-default-float-format* 'single-float)")
<ECL: SINGLE-FLOAT>
sage: a
<ECL: 1.234d40>
sage: ecl_eval("(setf *read-default-float-format* 'double-float)")
<ECL: DOUBLE-FLOAT>
sage: a
<ECL: 1.234e40>

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> a = EclObject(float(RealNumber('1.234e40')))
>>> ecl_eval("(setf *read-default-float-format* 'single-float)")
<ECL: SINGLE-FLOAT>
>>> a
<ECL: 1.234d40>
>>> ecl_eval("(setf *read-default-float-format* 'double-float)")
<ECL: DOUBLE-FLOAT>
>>> a
<ECL: 1.234e40>

Sage Live

a = EclObject(float(1.234e40))
ecl_eval("(setf *read-default-float-format* 'single-float)")
a
ecl_eval("(setf *read-default-float-format* 'double-float)")
a

Tuples are translated to dotted lists:

Sage

sage: EclObject( (false, true))
<ECL: (NIL . T)>
sage: EclObject( (1, 2, 3) )
<ECL: (1 2 . 3)>

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> EclObject( (false, true))
<ECL: (NIL . T)>
>>> EclObject( (Integer(1), Integer(2), Integer(3)) )
<ECL: (1 2 . 3)>

Sage Live

EclObject( (false, true))
EclObject( (1, 2, 3) )

Strings are fed to the reader, so a string normally results in a symbol:

Sage

sage: EclObject("Symbol")
<ECL: SYMBOL>

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> EclObject("Symbol")
<ECL: SYMBOL>

Sage Live

EclObject("Symbol")

But with proper quotation one can construct a lisp string object too:

Sage

sage: EclObject('"Symbol"')
<ECL: "Symbol">

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> EclObject('"Symbol"')
<ECL: "Symbol">

Sage Live

EclObject('"Symbol"')

Or any other object that the Lisp reader can construct:

Sage

sage: EclObject('#("I" am "just" a "simple" vector)')
<ECL: #("I" AM "just" A "simple" VECTOR)>

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> EclObject('#("I" am "just" a "simple" vector)')
<ECL: #("I" AM "just" A "simple" VECTOR)>

Sage Live

EclObject('#("I" am "just" a "simple" vector)')

By means of Lisp reader macros, you can include arbitrary objects:

Sage

sage: EclObject([ 1, 2, '''#.(make-hash-table :test #'equal)''', 4])
<ECL: (1 2 #<hash-table ...> 4)>

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> EclObject([ Integer(1), Integer(2), '''#.(make-hash-table :test #'equal)''', Integer(4)])
<ECL: (1 2 #<hash-table ...> 4)>

Sage Live

EclObject([ 1, 2, '''#.(make-hash-table :test #'equal)''', 4])

Using an optional argument, you can control how strings are handled:

Sage

sage: EclObject("String", False)
<ECL: "String">
sage: EclObject('#(I may look like a vector but I am a string)', False)
<ECL: "#(I may look like a vector but I am a string)">

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> EclObject("String", False)
<ECL: "String">
>>> EclObject('#(I may look like a vector but I am a string)', False)
<ECL: "#(I may look like a vector but I am a string)">

Sage Live

EclObject("String", False)
EclObject('#(I may look like a vector but I am a string)', False)

This also affects strings within nested lists and tuples

Sage

sage: EclObject([1, 2, "String", 4], False)
<ECL: (1 2 "String" 4)>

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> EclObject([Integer(1), Integer(2), "String", Integer(4)], False)
<ECL: (1 2 "String" 4)>

Sage Live

EclObject([1, 2, "String", 4], False)

EclObjects translate to themselves, so one can mix:

Sage

sage: EclObject([1,2, EclObject([3])])
<ECL: (1 2 (3))>

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> EclObject([Integer(1),Integer(2), EclObject([Integer(3)])])
<ECL: (1 2 (3))>

Sage Live

EclObject([1,2, EclObject([3])])

Calling an EclObject translates into the appropriate LISP apply, where the argument is transformed into an EclObject itself, so one can flexibly apply LISP functions:

Sage

sage: car = EclObject("car")
sage: cdr = EclObject("cdr")
sage: car(cdr([1,2,3]))
<ECL: 2>

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> car = EclObject("car")
>>> cdr = EclObject("cdr")
>>> car(cdr([Integer(1),Integer(2),Integer(3)]))
<ECL: 2>

Sage Live

car = EclObject("car")
cdr = EclObject("cdr")
car(cdr([1,2,3]))

and even construct and evaluate arbitrary S-expressions:

Sage

sage: eval=EclObject("eval")
sage: quote=EclObject("quote")
sage: eval([car, [cdr, [quote,[1,2,3]]]])
<ECL: 2>

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> eval=EclObject("eval")
>>> quote=EclObject("quote")
>>> eval([car, [cdr, [quote,[Integer(1),Integer(2),Integer(3)]]]])
<ECL: 2>

Sage Live

eval=EclObject("eval")
quote=EclObject("quote")
eval([car, [cdr, [quote,[1,2,3]]]])

Return True if self is atomic, False otherwise.

EXAMPLES:

Sage

sage: from sage.libs.ecl import *
sage: EclObject([]).atomp()
True
sage: EclObject([[]]).atomp()

ecl_eval("(mapcar 'fibo '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7))")

sage.libs.ecl.init_ecl()[source]¶

Internal function to initialize ecl. Do not call.

This function initializes the ECL library for use within Python. This routine should only be called once and importing the ecl library interface already does that, so do not call this yourself.

EXAMPLES:

Sage

sage: from sage.libs.ecl import *

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> from sage.libs.ecl import *

Sage Live

from sage.libs.ecl import *

At this point, init_ecl() has run. Explicitly executing it gives an error:

Sage

sage: init_ecl()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
RuntimeError: ECL is already initialized

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> init_ecl()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
RuntimeError: ECL is already initialized

Sage Live

init_ecl()

sage.libs.ecl.print_objects()[source]¶

Print GC-protection list.

Diagnostic function. ECL objects that are bound to Python objects need to be protected from being garbage collected. We do this by including them in a doubly linked list bound to the global ECL symbol SAGE-LIST-OF-OBJECTS. Only non-immediate values get included, so small integers do not get linked in. This routine prints the values currently stored.

EXAMPLES:

Sage

sage: from sage.libs.ecl import *
sage: a=EclObject("hello")
sage: b=EclObject(10)
sage: c=EclObject("world")
sage: print_objects() #random because previous test runs can have left objects
NIL
WORLD
HELLO

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> from sage.libs.ecl import *
>>> a=EclObject("hello")
>>> b=EclObject(Integer(10))
>>> c=EclObject("world")
>>> print_objects() #random because previous test runs can have left objects
NIL
WORLD
HELLO

Sage Live

from sage.libs.ecl import *
a=EclObject("hello")
b=EclObject(10)
c=EclObject("world")
print_objects() #random because previous test runs can have left objects

sage.libs.ecl.shutdown_ecl()[source]¶

Shut down ecl. Do not call.

Given the way that ECL is used from python, it is very difficult to ensure that no ECL objects exist at a particular time. Hence, destroying ECL is a risky proposition.

EXAMPLES:

Sage

sage: from sage.libs.ecl import *
sage: shutdown_ecl()

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> from sage.libs.ecl import *
>>> shutdown_ecl()

Sage Live

from sage.libs.ecl import *
shutdown_ecl()

sage.libs.ecl.test_ecl_options()[source]¶: Print an overview of the ECL options.
