Originally opened by @jtrakk in cuelang/cue#162

I'm wondering if CUE might support Python bindings.

As far as I know, the simplest and most widely supported interfaces are via CFFI, as in this Go example. Binaries can be distributed in the wheel format on PyPI.

This could live in a cuelang repo, like cuelang/lang-python is someone wants to take this on.

@jtrakk could you perhaps comment on which features you would want to expose in the API. The API of CUE is quite large.

Even a minimal set of features could be useful. For example, translation between CUE strings and built-in Python types (or even JSON strings) would be enough to get started with CUE if it were packaged on PyPI so I could just pip install it.

SInce Cue is a Go project, it would probably make sense to look at https://github.com/google/starlark-go

This project has been created in the meantime: https://pypi.org/project/pycue/

It's a wrapper around the cue CLI command.

There's this https://github.com/philipdexter/pycue which I created a long time ago

ci: trigger a test workflow on repository_dispatch (cue-lang#162)

This allows the main CUE repo to trigger a build check on some event in
the main CUE repo, e.g. a new release. This is a basic way to ensure
that cuelang.org is always using the latest CUE version.

Also flip to using GOPROXY=direct for the go get check (so we don't hit
a potentially stale proxy)
