how to call user defined TCL procedures from python script?

[comp.lang.python]

Hi,
I am using some TCL driver APIs and user define TCL function to
control a traffic generator. The APIs are the traffic generator's
specific and in built to the driver library.

The issue is calling API and user define TCL functions from python
script.
I am looking for the way to include user define TCL lib to python
script and call those user define functions from python script.
thanks & regards
ananya

If you import Tkinter and then evaluate Tcl-Script, passing back the results
a strings into Python. Example:

>>import Tkinter
tcl=Tkinter.Tk()
tcl.withdraw()

''

>>tcl.eval("puts hello")

hello
''

With this you can load Tcl-Libs ("package require ..."), execute the needed
functionality and "return $VALUE" to pass results to Python.
