Bummer, I like lua a lot. But I understand the move to python, since it has a least two orders of magnitude more developers and users. I'm disappointed that python still does not have integrated NumPy support "out of the box". The progress on NumPY has been painfully slow (first Numarray, then Numeric, then Numpy). I wish they would just get it solid and get a PEP going and include it already. This is one of the reasons I got interested in lua - small, fast, easy to interface with C, no dependencies....

Thanks for letting me know, so I didn't spend weeks on lua code + gmsh...

Hi.

I would like to use Lua to create gmsh meshes. So far I have two issues.

(1) - I can't seem to find any documentation?

(2) when I start gmsh -lua and get a prompt >, after every syntax error I make, lua exits. Is this a bug with my lua installation? I'm running
gmsh 2.5.0


Hello Perrin,

After a long internal debate we are actually transitioning from the integrated lua bindings to more traditional (swig-generated) python bindings.

We are actively working on this; the latest SVN contains fairly functional python binding generation. Lots of new things are in the pipeline in this regards, e.g. python-binded gui-driven data generation.

Thank you for your help, and also a great open source tool.

Sincerely,

Perrin Meyer
