When creating a Python binding to a C or C++ library, which is easier to wrap, the C lib or the C++ one? Given a choice, if you had to choose between using one of two libs, one written in C, the other in C+ + -- both having approximately the same functionality -- which would you rather deal with from your Python code?
It would seem to me that there's fewer design considerations when wrapping a library written in C; you just wrap the functions. However, since Python supports OOP nicely, it might also be that wrapping C++ code *could* also be staightforward... Are there many pitfalls when having to map C++'s notion of OO to Python? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
