Hello, I want to use a collection of C libraries in python via ctypes and a ctypes code generator. I have no problem using ctypes to call functions in the library, but I have to set up the argtypes and restype arguments for each function, which is a pain given that there are hundreds of functions involved. There are also C structs used for state and parameter passing, and I don't want to have to manually create in ctypes (via "class blah(Structure): ...") a Python mirror to each and every field.
I know that ctypeslib should be the right tool for the job: http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/wiki/CodeGenerator However, my version of either gcc or gccxml is leading to xml output that can't be correctly parsed by the xml2py part of ctypeslib. The argtypes and restype stuff is set for all the functions, but the python declaration of the structs is empty ("class blah(Structure): pass"). On the ctypes-users mailing list, Thomas Heller warned that ctypeslib is not really maintained anymore, and wasn't surprised that recent versions of gccxml led to this problem. He suggested that some part of pyglet might also be able to do python code generation for ctypes, which brings me here. I know that this isn't the main purpose of pyglet, but I've searched around some and can't find an answer to this: is there a way to use pyglet, or something associated with pyglet, to generate Python class definitions of C structs, by parsing C headers? thanks, Gordon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
