## implementing a preprocessor with a different language ## implementing a preprocessor with a different language
The fact that mdBook utilizes stdin and stdout to communicate with the preprocessors makes it easy to implement them in a language other than Rust. The fact that mdBook utilizes stdin and stdout to communicate with the preprocessors makes it easy to implement them in a language other than Rust.
The following code shows how to implement a simple preprocessor in python, which will modify the content of the first chapter. The following code shows how to implement a simple preprocessor in Python, which will modify the content of the first chapter.
The example will follow the configuration shown above with `preprocessor.foo.command` actually pointing to a python script. The code of said script is below: The example below follows the configuration shown above with `preprocessor.foo.command` actually pointing to a Python script.
