I'm about done with my CXX_Objects.h and CXX_Exceptions.h, which are (incompatible) replacements for the two similarly-named (experimental) PyXX_...hh files currently in the LLNL distribution. I called them something new so that I wouldn't bother Geoff's work. I'll try to get them out on our site next week. I sent out some of it for comment the other day and didn't get any. My stuff does work with MSVC++. I'm developing under it to make sure, in fact. Geoff's existing stuff won't work with MSVC, I'm sure. -----Original Message----- From: Geoffrey M.

My application runs mainly in python with help from 4-5 python extensions that integrate third party libraries. We have just finished a major release, and have the time to rework a bit of this. I would love to rewrite these extensions in C++ using your C++ bindings, but first I wanted to get some information from you, if you have the time to answer a couple of quick questions.

Have you tried to do anything with your bindings with respect to 1.5?

As a matter of fact, I have been working on that some today, and for the last couple of days. I am considering a reformulation of how the trampoline works.

...

Are they compatible with Visual C++ 5.0? (We run on Solaris and NT)

I don't know, as I don't use that platform.

...

Are there any legal issues regarding using your C++ bindings in a commercial application? (I know they are copyrighted, but I didn't notice anything about reuse)

Livermore has got its Python stuff out free. The stuff I did while I was there, is in the stock Livermore Python snapshot, on icf.llnl.gov.

Los Alamos (where I am now), is just learning to discuss the issue, and I am not sure how long it will take to get resolution on the status of what I do sitting here. I did initiate inquiries into this matter a couple of days ago.

...

Do you have any sort of a status document that might show current stability, known bugs, things left to do, etc.?

Alas no, but I should.

...

Thanks for all the work you have already put into this project, and I look forward to your response.

I am hoping to get a non trivial project home page up soon, but it isn't ready yet. No ETA.
