Thanks > (It was in Mike's original message.) I must have missed that. Guido says: """ I've yet to see an extension module using SWIG that doesn't make me think it was a mistake to use SWIG instead of manually written wrappers. The extra time paid upfront to create hand-crafted wrappers is gained back hundredfold by time saved debugging the SWIG-generated code later. """ hmm. wxPython is my prime example. I can't imagine that ever being done enough to be useful without auto code generation. Period. Of course, that doesn't apply to far smaller libraries. And many of the hand-written wrappers I've seen are nightmares of incorrect reference counting. I think hand-wrapping is a just plain bad idea, not when you have ctypes and pyrex and Boost (and CXX?) as options instead. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
