A kind request of information about clipspy HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello,

sorry for the late reply.

I am not aware of any existing mapping layer between CLIPS deftemplate/defclass and Python class. Usually, data is de-serialized from other sources (files, queues/streams, HTTP handlers, ...). With this in mind, I usually prefer to map Python dict directly to CLIPS deftemplate as most of the time I deal with JSON as origin of the data.

Regarding the contribution to CLIPSPy of such logic I would rather keep this library lean. Reason for that, is we can rely on the very solid documentation CLIPS provide as Basic Programming Guide and especially Advanced Programming Guide. Anything we build on top of CLIPS C APIs we are bound to maintain.

IMHO, any wrapper on top of CLIPSPy should go as a separate project which relies on this library for the sole interfacing between the upper layer and the CLIPS engine itself. A clearer separation of concerns makes things easier to maintain.

I am myself prototyping something on that line here, The progress is being very slow nevertheless as it's a toy project and my spare time is very limited nowadays.
