Re: [Tutor] Executing a C Program from RH Linux in Python for Win

[Wayne Watson]

Title: Signature.html

If you can execute a C program compiled on a Linux with SWIG, then that's what I'm looking for. There's really no RH dependency according to the above posts. If it were compiled on Debian or Ubuntu, it appears it would not make any difference. That is, one could execute a RH executable from C on Ubuntu. Is there a simple example of this in action from a Python program and some small C Linux executable program? greg whittier wrote: On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 4:06 PM, Wayne Watson <sierra_mtnv...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: Thanks to both above posts before this reply. I'll forgo the VM route. It would really complicate things for the users of the application having to deal with VM. Most are near neophytes. Nevertheless, it looks like there may be some hope here for just doing it from w/i Win OS. My other choice is recoding 38K lines of C code into Python. I'll pass on that. :-) Unless there's a very good translator between languages. I'm confused about what you want to do. If you have the code and want to call it from python, then maybe you can use something like http://www.swig.org/ is what you're looking for. What is the Red Hat dependency? I.e., what libraries are needed? Many libraries are available for windows. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor -- Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.01 Deg.
