Incorporating Julia Into Python Programs

Context: I’ve recently been experimenting with porting portions of a simulation codebase from python to Julia. Setting up a productive development environment, using the packages (PyJulia & PyCall) that allow for communicating between python and Julia, and familiarizing myself with Julia enough to use those packages took quite a bit of time and experimentation. Here’s my collection of notes including stumbling blocks, adaptations, and things I took forever to understand to make this process easier for others in the future.
