Calling C/C++ functions in a python script

[chaosquant]

I'm kind of beginner in Python, so I must ask what are probably silly
questions.

Here is my problem:

I have a static library say, a file library.lib, which can be linked to
C or C++ programs.

Now I would like to use the functions of the library in Python script,
under Win XP.

Can someone give me a simple example of how to do so?

Thanks a lot,

Jean-Claude

If all you have are functions, the easiest is to create a simple dll/so
and load it into Python with ctypes.

For more advanced needs, take a look at some of the extending options
available.

Thanks for your answer. It is just what I'm trying to do.
Unfortunately, apparently I need a
"pyhton24_d.lib" to link to that does not seem to exists. Do you know a
solution for this?

Thanks a lot,

You can be build it from source! /Carl

You are working with the debug configuration, use release instead and
python24.lib will suffice.
