creating python wrapper for C library

Cam · 2005-06-27 12:17:00

Hey all,

I've been playing with Python in part of my spare time and some of this cool stuff the new Enlightenment libraries can do in another part of my spare time, however Python doesn't seem to be as blessed in the E17 area as Ruby is Rather than learn a new language, how can I create Python wrappers around libs written in I assume C?

If anyone has links to a tutorial/program to do this/any sort of resource at all I'd very much appreciate it, there's just only so much I can do with Evas, I'd like to play with some of the other neat stuff too if I can make it so I can use Python to do it.

Any tips - gladly accepted

I used swig:
http://swig.sourceforge.net/

It's in extra.

this is not really a noob thing to do cam,
i'm not an expert on this but i can think of two ways to do it, if you know c,

1. Download pythons manual and read the chapters about the c-api,

2. use pyrex

Arch Linux
