I help manage over 50 packages in the Julia Smooth Optimizers organization, and sometimes we have to make a small update to all of these packages.
For instance, one of the workflows was updated, or something new is introduced, or the LTS version of Julia changes.

In these situations, our usual approach is to create some script that downloads all of these packages, then apply the change, then creates a pull request with the modifications.

Julia and Python are often seen as competitors, but in this video I want to show the integration between them. Using the PythonCall and the JuliaCall packages we can call Julia from Python and Python from Julia. Check the video out or check edited transcript below.

There are currently two ways to integrate Python in Julia and Julia in Python. These two main packages are PyCall and PythonCall and their corresponding Python package.
I have talked about PyCall in a series of blog posts in the past, comparing Python being improved by C++ and Python being improved by Julia up to the point that we actually made the Julia code faster than the C++ code in this specific instance.
Now I’m going to talk about the PythonCall package and the corresponding JuliaCall package which are newer.
