Nutshell and Python
At this moment it is not possible to use the Walnut libraries
from Python programs directly.
This will be possible in the future, but for now you will have to
use the MS Windows version of Nutshell and the MS Windows
distribution of Python.
Download and install Python as described on their site.
All communication with Nutshell will go through COM, so in
order to use Nutshell from within a Python program, you will
need to import the Win32com.client library.
Then fetch the Application object with
win32com.client.Dispatch("Nutshell.Application")
or the Workspaces object with
win32com.client.Dispatch("Nutshell.Workspaces").
From this point you will have access to all the
Nutshell's COM objects, methods and properties.
Example code:
import win32com.client
o = win32com.client.Dispatch("Nutshell.Application")
o.Visible = 1
ws = o.Workspaces.Add("Hopfield")
ws.InsertLayer(10,10)
ws.Update
