I actually thought about writing a pure Python API but I can't seem to get the current C++ API to be found. Seems the linker is having trouble finding the definitions even though I passed -I/usr/include/sword/ on the command line when compiling my test program. I would like to improve a few things and figure out how the modules are being parsed. Possibly update the docs a bit and make a Python API because Python's a nice language so it should work. The current swig stuff is sorta broken but I'm not sure swig is the way to go anyway. It might be but I don't know how much of Python it supports so maybe a native API is best. I think this is worth doing. The more programming languages we properly support the better. Python's a good thing because it's fully functional and runs on almost anything. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
