GRASS and Python: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:30, 28 May 2006

There is a prototype GRASS-SWIG interface available (thanks to Sajith VK), find in GRASS 6-CVS: swig/python/

SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator) is:

A compiler that turns ANSI C/C++ declarations into scripting language interfaces.
Completely automated (produces a fully working Python extension module).
Language neutral. SWIG can also target Tcl, Perl, Guile, MATLAB, etc...
Attempts to eliminate the tedium of writing extension modules.
