Overview
dartpy is a Flutter/Dart package that enables seamless integration between Dart and Python by leveraging Python's C API. It allows Dart applications to call Python code, execute scripts, and interact with Python objects directly, making it ideal for projects requiring Python's extensive libraries in data science, machine learning, or scripting. The package supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring cross-platform compatibility. It provides a low-level bridge for advanced developers who need tight control over Python execution within Dart apps.
