Dan, Recently I am trying out both the SWIG and BOOST, maybe Cython later. However, I didn't get lucky with the combination of the latest SWIGwin 2.0.2 and Python3.2. No matter I build _example.pyd, example.pyd or _example.dll, or example.dll, it just doesn't get imported as said in the instructio

I've not tried Boost, but I don't think SWIG or Cython require modified libraries. You just compile your wrapper, and then import it. On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 2:16 PM, wrote: > Dan, > > Thanks for the info. Really I was hoping for a "non-intrusive" way to > expose existing C++ libraries to pytho

Dan, Thanks for the info. Really I was hoping for a "non-intrusive" way to expose existing C++ libraries to python. However, both solutions (BOOST, SWIG) listed here require the recompilation of libraries?! Seems Cython is doing the similar way? It is ok for small applications but will be h

Hi Patrick, I'm using SWIG in my project. C++ code is wrapped and can be used in python as custom module. You should create a swig module.i file to describe headers upon which that module will be built. You should be certain about what you are going to use - boost library, swig or something else

Hi, I saw in the Beginner document that "•Is easily extended by adding new modules implemented in a compiled language such as C or C++. ". While to my investigation, it seems not that easy or did I miss something? boost python (C++ libraries need to be re-compiled with written wrappers again?).
