>>"the way I envisage it to be is to be rather pythonic than c-ish, namely using name/value pairs as arguments rather than say positional arguments" <<
Whatever you want to achieve can be done in C / C++, dicts, hash tables, dawgs etc. There are C/C++ apis for all the databases too Given that python was written in C and the python used in linuxcnc relies upon bindings written in C, it slightly dresses a personal preference as a necessity. But then I don't like python and would also prefer that it did not gain any further hold on the project:-D So long as I can access the resulting tool (table/database/whatever) in C/C++ from components I will be happy regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
