Pythia
Pythia
An Arma 3 extension that lets you write python extensions for Arma 3. And it’s really simple and straightforward to use!

TL;DR
Create a function:
def my_function(some_string, number, the_truth): return ["awesome", 42, True, (1, 3.5)]
Call it from Arma:
["MyAwesomeModule.my_function", ["arg1", 3.14256, False]] call py3_fnc_callExtension
This will return this to your SQF code:
["awesome", 42, True, [1, 3.5]]
See the examples of mods performing simple functions here: https://github.com/overfl0/Pythia/tree/next/examples
Features
- Works on Windows 32/64bit and on Linux 64bit
- Full type conversion both ways: pass in an SQF array of ints, get a python array of ints. Return a tuple of a float, a bool and a string, get an SQF array containing the float, bool and the string
- Embedded python installation (you don’t have to install anything; just run the mod)
- Python code stored inside @YourOwnMod directory
- Python modules can call and reuse each other, even between separate Arma mods
- Background Python threads
- Cython and other compiled python extensions "just work" (C-like speed for performance-critical modules)
- Extendable python environment through pip
- Proven to work with libraries such as numpy, scipy, matplotlib, PyQt5, etc…
- Automatic python code reloader for easier development
- Allows returning more than 10240 characters from the extension transparently
- Annoys sloppy SQF developers with correct code indentation since Day One 😉
