Doesn't the first example in The Boost.Python Tutorial (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/index.html) show it making a simple C function available to Python?
I want to be able to use the open source, Leptonica C Image Processing Library (available at http::/leptonica.com) from Python, preferably without having to make any changes to it. But again, handling the PIX** parameter seems problematic. I was hoping to avoid writing C++ wrapper classes (but Stefan Seefeld's answer on this list) does have a nice short example of what I would have to do. Using SWIG was my last choice (well, the last choice is directly using the C Api). I have also looked at pybindgen, but Gustavo Carneiro tells me at https://answers.launchpad.net/pybindgen/+question/101056 that it is currently unable to easily handle parameters of the form SOMETYPE**. Other options I will investigate are: ctypes, Cython, expy, and SIP (the last only because the ultiate goal is to use Leptonica Image Processing routines inside a PyQt-based app). _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
