Dear all,
I've successfully embedded the Python interpreter into a set of C/C++
application programs that use a larger library project with information
from http://docs.python.org/api/api.html and
http://docs.python.org/ext/ext.html. Now I want to wrap classes and
functions from the associated libraries so that I can write new
applications completely in Python, but I'm not entirely sure how to
start because I have some problems understanding which is the best way.
It would be nice if someone could answer the following questions and
clarify this matter:
- until now I've used the approach as documented in
http://docs.python.org/ext/extending...embedding.html to extend the
embedded interpreter and that works pretty well. I'd like to use a
similar approach for other C applications. Can I write a C library that
implements this technique and link it into all C applications that need
Python support, or is there a better, more elegant way?
- in the documentation, there's an example that illustrates the creation
of a python module for pure extending of a python script (the Noddy
stuff). Do I have to make a separate module for each library I want to
wrap? If yes, how can I manage the case where two libraries can access
each other?
- if I write an extension module, how can I handle the case where the C
wrapper methods want to call back into the same Python interpreter instance?
- I think my questions break down into a reference to documentation
where a similar problem is explained in detail. Does anyone have such
information?
Thanks!
Thomas.
