Tibor Kiss commented on HDFS-9758:
----------------------------------
Thanks for the detailed comments, [~James Clampffer]!
I’ve proposed Cython, cpppyy and Boost.Python simply because I thought we’d
like to expose the object oriented interface to Python.
If that’s not the case CTypes is surely the simplest option without imposing
any dependency.
Cython would be beneficial if we would either need OO interfaces or we’d prefer
performance over programmer productivity.
As you already implemented a reasonable amount of code for CTypes I think it is
best to extend that further.
If you like I can pick up where you left off and finish the remaining calls and
include python tests.

> It'd be really useful to have bindings for various scripting languages.
> Python would be a good start because of it's popularity and how easy it is to
> interact with shared libraries using the ctypes module. I think bindings for
> the V8 engine that nodeJS uses would be a close second in terms of expanding
> the potential user base.
> Probably worth starting with just adding a synchronous API and building from
> there to avoid interactions with python's garbage collector until the
> bindings prove to be solid.
