Passing values from PPL to Python and vice versa - an alternative to AVars

[gehakte_bits]

FYI if you go from Python to PPL with a complex number, you will have to substitute the Python imaginary indication 'j' with '*i' (CHAR(57347)) prior to passing it on to PPL.
And from PPL to Python you have to convert the string with '*i' to 'j'.
All within the Python script.

#Python to PPL conversion for a complex number
p=17j
p=str(p)
p=p.replace('j','*') #(CHAR(57347)
ppleval('PYPPL.pyresult:=%s' %p)

#PPL to Python string conversion for a complex number
p='17*i' # ie from argv[0]
p=complex(p.replace('*','j')) #(CHAR(57347)
