I am still in my Python learning stage. (Not yet ready to roll my own implementation :-)
I am prototyping a network provider (a DLL exporting an implementation of the MS defined NP API and invoked by MS's MPR (Multiple Provider Router)). Since I anticipate a great deal of experimentation I would dearly love to do some prototyping in Python. Can anyone in this news group offer words of wisdom? What is the best way in this kind of a rapid prototyping environment to expose my python code as a DLL? The relevant interfaces are not part of win32 so they are not supported by Mark Hammond's win32all package. This suggests that I need some kind of foreign function interface/package/technology. Should I try to decipher CALLDLL? Is there a better alternative? (In a past life I have been alternatively an assembly language coder and a compiler writer. So mapping function prototypes to calling mechanisms and data representations is not a stumbling block.) As I mentioned earlier, I would love to pull this off in Python. But I am willing to be told by those in the know that I am really better of sticking to C++... /john -- John Yates 40 Pine Street Needham, MA 02492 781 444-2899 _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activepython
