  Description     : Python wrapper around LuaJIT

Lupa integrates the runtimes of Lua or LuaJIT2 into CPython. It is a partial
rewrite of LunaticPython in Cython with some additional features such as proper
coroutine support.
.
Features:
 * separate Lua runtime states through a LuaRuntime class
 * Python coroutine wrapper for Lua coroutines
 * iteration support for Python objects in Lua and Lua objects in Python
 * proper encoding and decoding of strings (configurable per runtime, UTF-8 by
   default)
 * frees the GIL and supports threading in separate runtimes when calling into
   Lua
 * written for LuaJIT2, but also works with the normal Lua interpreter
 * easy to hack on and extend as it is written in Cython, not C
