'''Introduction'''
tclpysh is a multi-language shell supporting both Tcl and Python with native variable sharing, enhanced Ctrl-C interrupt support and mixed language script sourcing. It also can be imported into the Python shell of latest EDA tools.
----
'''Advantages'''
Unlike traditional approach such as tkinter that separates Tcl and Python into distinct modes and environments, tclpysh enables both languages to be written in a single script, with real-time language switching ability.
Real-time Ctrl-C interruption is also available with no limitation such as inside a while loop, with extended command 'defer' for advanced interrupt behavior handling.
----
'''Variable Sharing Example'''
======
% tclpysh
tcl> set a 123
123
tcl> pymode
py> a
'123'
py> a+='456'
py> tclmode()
tcl> puts $a
123456
======
----
'''Mixed Language Script Sourcing Example'''
======
#!/tclpysh_py39_v2025.06/bin/tclpysh
set a 0
pymode
print(f'python: a = {a}')
b='1'
tclmode()
puts "tcl: a = $a"
puts "tcl: b = $b"
exit
======
----
'''Enhanced Ctrl-C Interrupt Examples'''
======
tcl> while 1 { incr i }
^C
Info: Ctrl-C interrupt: 'while 1 { incr i }'. (SHELL-INTRCMD)
tcl> puts $i
937237
======
======
tcl> proc p {} {
defer -intr { puts "value is $i!" }
while 1 { incr i }
}
tcl> p
^CInfo: Ctrl-C interrupt is handled by 'defer -intr' command. (SHELL-INTRRECOVER)
value is 219811!
