4 sourcesThere is an actively developed python to ocaml interop library for purposes quite similar to yours. I have seen demos where ocaml and python are used within the same jupyter notebook

In The road to OCaml 5.0It's possible to use it in a Julia-like fashion (like PyCall.jl[1]). For example, with OCaml one could use Pyml[2].

In Python 3 Types in the Wild: A Tale of Two Type Systems [pdf]There is a work-in-progress second edition of "Real World OCaml" book [1], which has many small but vital updates corresponding to the modern state of OCaml and its infrastructure. Moreover, I recommend checking the Lwt [2] from the beginning for working with multithreading. OCaml Ctypes [3] library for creating FFI stubs without a single line of C and Cstruct [4] for working with C structures. If you want to interact with some Python code or script your OCaml program with Python - you can use Pyml [5] library. OCaml universe also has a good library for numbers crunching and scientific computing (including primitive Machine Learning) - Owl [6]. For writing OCaml instead of JavaScript, it is possible to use BuckleScript [7]. And if you are starting a new project in OCaml - I recommend using the most modern buildsystem - dune [8]. It is ver

y simple to use and with a less overhead than others. I found also Angrstrom [9] is very useful for implementing binary and text format parsers.
Utop [10] and ocaml-jupyter [11] are the best choice for experimenting, browsing the API and testing some small things.
