Cgo and Python | Datadog

What this post added

This post introduces the concept and implementation of embedding a CPython interpreter within a Go binary (Datadog Agent) using cgo. It provides code examples for initializing the interpreter, importing Python modules, and executing Python functions from Go. The use of the go-python library is presented as a way to abstract cgo complexities. The article also briefly discusses the implications of the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) for concurrency.
