The first version is ready for testing at https://github.com/arigo/ffi . Note that the goal is not to interface with C++ but only with C. In this pre-0.1-release, it supports the same things as a basic ctypes, minus all the Windows calling convention stuff. We're going to work now on non-ctypes issues like structs without a fixed known layout, macros, etc. (listed in the README.md file). Reading just the file names in 'ctypes/test/test_*.py', I should stress again that the scale of the project is completely different than ctypes: it's meant as a minimal interface to C offering a C-like feeling, with absolutely no extra features on top. See the 'demo/readdir.py' file for a quick introduction. If you already know independently Python, C, and (for this example) did at some point read "man openat" on Linux, then this code should be self-explanatory and kind of obvious. A bientôt, Armin. _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
