I used python extensive 3-5 years back. Coming back I find some changes. Trying to understand whats new and would appreciate any help/comments/pointers.
Earlier there were basically two options: SWIG: convenient but inefficient Native (Extending/Embedding): an efficient way of getting a headache! (Boost being ignored because not using C++) Now it seems there are more possibilities: -- Sip seems to be more efficient than swig and easier than native but not well documented -- pyrex could be considered -- I know someone who uses pygtk to make wrappings But most interesting is ctype. I wonder if having ctype in the core language changes the ease of use of the native wrapping model and thereby makes sip/swig etc less necessary? Your views and/or experience appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
