I want to write python wrappers for the Linux DVB API. The underlying structures and constants may change from time to time, and some of the constants are generated from macros, so I think it would be better to write the module in C rather than just copying the constants into pure python code and using python's ioctl and struct modules.
The trouble is I can't find out how to define a simple python int variable/constant in a C extension. The docs only seem to tell you how to define functions/methods and new types. For example, where the kernel header dvb/frontend.h defines: typedef enum fe_type { FE_QPSK, FE_QAM, FE_OFDM, FE_ATSC } fe_type_t; I want to make them available as if there was a python module dvb/frontend.py containing: FE_QPSK = 0 FE_QAM = 1 FE_OFDM = 2 FE_ATSC = 3 but in real life the module would be dvb/frontendmodule.c. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
