Hi, I also managed to make python bindings work on windows, at least for the MinGW compiler. How did I get there:
* Download and install Python 2.4.4 ! (not 2.5) from http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.4/python-2.4.4.msi * Download and install the old Numeric package Numeric-24.2.win32-py2.4.exe from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=1351 The numeric package is not available for 2.5 * Than, as usual we need to set some variables: set PYTHONDIR=C:\DevZone\Python24 set PATH=%PYTHONDIR%;%PATH% set CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=%PYTHONDIR%\Lib\site-packages\Numeric\Numeric_headers\Numeric * Cmake should than find everything and turn python bindings on, if SWIG is installed and set up correctly. * Don't forget to have -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON and -DBUILD_TEST=ON * compile with mingw32-make * cd examples\python * if you run "python pythondemos.py" we get an error message Traceback (most recent call last): File "pythondemos.py", line 28, in ? from plplot import * File "C:/DevZone/plplot/bindings/python\plplot.py", line 20, in ? from plplotc import * File "C:/DevZone/plplot/buildmingw/bindings/python\plplotc.py", line 5, in ? import _plplotc ImportError: No module named _plplotc * If I copy the dll _plplotcmodule.dll from bindings/python I get the same error message. After I rename this dll to _plplotc.dll I get further and also need to copy other dlls (plplot.dll, etc.) and font files: "python pythondemos.py" works. * So this is also a quite success here, though why is this dll called _plplotcmodule.dll and not _plplotc.dll as python wants it to be called? Has someone some ideas? On MSVC/nmake it's the same procedure, but we get soon into trouble: Linking C shared module _plplotcmodule.dll LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python24_d.lib' NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\link.EXE"' : return code '0x450' Stop. I searched the whole plplot tree where we would set python24_d.lib, but I couldn't find anything like that. Cmake looks for this library but can't find it and sets the variables accordingly. And the makefiles for nmake are only temporary, so I can't check them :(. No idea, where the problem is here. Any ideas? Anyway, python is also "working" here in Windows. Regards, Werner PS: Thanks for the hint with the Numeric library. Alan W.
