luatex_lunatic is a modification of lua side of luatex to host a python interpreter inside lua . (see lunatic-python) .

I have made a set op patches is needed because :

• by design, lua in luatex doesn't permit dynamic loading ("Dynamic loading of .so and .dll files is disabled on all platforms." see "LUA changes" in manual/luatexref-t.pdf of src/svn dist.)

• to prevent symbols collisions between luatex and an arbitrary library

Having a python interpreter hosted in luatex can make easy to use existing python's bindings (also Python releases includes at least from 2.5 a ctypes module that permit a binding to a .so without using SWIG or similar, similar to lua's loadlib) .

As general rule, I want the smallest set of patches ; so, for example, I have choose to not use a system libpng, even if it's easy to modify build.sh.linux to do so.

Also, I'm not concerned about portability: so I will talk only about Linux .

Please note that luatex_lunatic was born to answer to (my) question "Can I apply lunatic to luatex ?" and nothing else.

Every others meanings can be interestring, but are not mine .

How to

I prefear to put a bash script that can help to compile a luatex-lunatic binary.
