pocketpy
PocketPy is a lightweight(~5000 LOC) Python interpreter for game engines.
It is extremely easy to embed. Including a compiler, optimizer and bytecode virtual machine. All of them are available in a single header file pocketpy.h, without external dependencies.

News
PocketPy is undergoing a major reconstruction.
The next version, 0.8.x, is a huge break change compared with 0.6.x.
Changes in 0.8.x:
- better way for C bindings/host bindings
- try/catch support
- yield/coroutine support (we will try to implement asyncio)
- complete reflection (exec/eval/getattr/setattr/hasattr)
- bytecode optimizer (will improve the performance by 2x-3x)
Since the main purpose of PocketPy is for game engines, which is usually single-threaded. We will change some designs to fit this situation. All threaded interfaces will be deleted. PocketPy will no longer provide thread support at the C language level. If one needs to run the virtual machine in a thread, we recommend to use the thread support provided by the host language.
