I am now writing a python extension, but I confuse with the reference. If you care more about working code than fighting confusion, Cython might be worth a look. Stefan, please stop doing this. This list is about helping people using Python/C, not Cython advocacy.
Where is the difference?
The list would be called cython-sig otherwise :-)
There are many other alternatives to approaching Python extension writing in C/C++:
- use ctypes
- use Boost.Python
- use SWIG
- use sip
- use PyCXX
- use PyRex/Cython
- use Robin
- ...
(there are lots more)
However, this list is about the layer underneath all of those. It's about the Python C API and there are many good reasons to use it directly rather than using one of the above wrappers or wrapper generators.
