Hi all,

I read this interesting post comparing Boost.Python with Pyd:

What's your opinion about it?

What's your first choice when you have write a C/C++ module for Python?

I'm using handwritten C code or Cython/Pyrex to create Python C extensions. Handwritten C code is sometimes required when you need full control over the C code and performance (speed or memory) is crucial to the project. Handwritten C code is the only option when you need readable, debugable C code.

However Cython is great for most applications these days. It's my preferred way to wrap small to large libraries, I was able to get quick and sufficient results in a matter of minutes.

ctypes is nice for small applications but I don't use it for serious work. It's too fragile across computer architectures, e.g. big/little endian machines or more important i386, AMD64/Unix and AMD64/Win32 operation systems.

SIP claims to be the fastest and easiest system to wrap C++ code. The Cython wiki says it's about 40% faster than SWIG.
