using boost to extend python with c++

mr_gees100_peas

Hi,

I've been trying for days to make either boost.python or swig to
work for me. The one I have gotten the closest to is boost. Note that
this is for windows XP. I'm not much of an unix person besides doing
simple ls and copy paste.

What I have done is to download the boost library: C:\boost_1_34_0
I downloaded the bjam library: C:\boost-jam-3.1.14-1-ntx86

I then set up the path so that I could do bjam from anywhere suing the
coomand prompt. Did the same for python and g++. I'm using the g++
that came with bloodshed DevC++ compiler.

So, I navigated myself to the tutorial example in the boost library.
C:\boost_1_34_0 \libs\python\ex ample\tutorial

In the command prompt I typed bjam and I got the following error message.

C:\boost_1_34_0 \libs\python\ex ample\tutorial> bjam
Jamroot:17: in modules.load
rule python-extension unknown in module
Jamfile</C:/boost_1_34_0/libs/python/example/tutorial>.
C:/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/build\project.j am:312: in load-jamfile
C:/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/build\project.j am:68: in load
C:/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/build\project.j am:170: in project.find
C:/boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2\build-system.jam:237: in load
C:\boost_1_34_0 \libs\python\ex ample\..\..\..\ tools\build\v2/kernel\modules. jam:261:
in import
C:\boost_1_34_0 \libs\python\ex ample\..\..\..\ tools\build\v2/kernel/bootstrap.jam:1 32:
in boost-build
C:\boost_1_34_0 \libs\python\ex ample\boost-build.jam:7: in module scope
I've have been trying desperately for 3 days. I also tried swig with
similar results but I feel I'm closer to solving the issue with boost
than with swig. I'm at a total lost here. I have tried the tutorials
in the boost web page but I just don't get anywhere.

Please see http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2007/05/16666.php -- the
solution is to add "using python ;" to tools/build/v2/user-config.jam.

pyMPI and calling MPI functions using Boost.Python

by: Natsu Mizutani | last post by:

Hello, I'm trying to wrap a c++ library using MPI inside with boost.python (or SWIG). I managed to find that calling `MPI::Init()` embeded in a c++ funtion would not work. So, I decided to use `pyMPI`. To avoid overhead of pickling and unpickling while calling `mpi.send` in Python, I'd rather call c++ functions `MPI::Isend()` etc. embeded in a c++ function.

Can someone please point me to a tar ball for mac os x so that I can call my C++ class from Python?
