A system for the generation of dynamically loaded modules for the C++ BeOS system API. A few modules included (33), and example programs, including a usable if miminal USENET news reader. The BeOS C++ API uses virtual methods for system callbacks for things like dispatch loops. This model is preserved in the Python system, by a feature of the C++ objects that allows them to be bound to a Python class instance that can implement the virtual callback methods. I believe the general idea for this comes from a paper by Jim Ahlstrom. Each module implements only the function methods introduced by its respective API class, and imports base class modules as needed. It's work in progress: http://www.oz.net/~donn/ Donn Cave, donn@oz.net <P><A HREF="http://www.oz.net/~donn/">BeOS native API modules 0.1</A> - Python interface to the BeOS C++ API; includes example programs such as a minimal USENET news reader.
