Hello all,

This is the first time I am posting to this group. I would like to introduce 
myself as a grad.student at the University Of Kentucky.

I hope that most of you have heard of LLNL'S OVERTURE framework 
(www.llnl.gov/casc/Overture)...which is a framework of huge number of C++ 
LIBRARIES, useful for grid generation and other purposes

Using OVERTURE'S FRAMEWORK OF CLASSES, I have written a small program for my 
application and obviously my code is written in C++ since OVERTURE itself is 
entirely in C++.  I declare a number of objects in my code  using the 
standard classes that are defined in OVERTURE FRAMEWORK. 

In order to run my code in OVERTURE, I would need to make it using a Makefile 
which contains all the rules needed to link the code to the OVERTURE 
framework. 

However, I need to do the same thing from python. I would like to use python 
as an input mechanism to this code and would like to make it in the Overture 
framework from Python. The python module that we generate to do this should 
be in a position to understand the functionality of all the classes which are 
defined somewhere in the software but whose objects are declared in the code 
that we write in OVERTURE.

 Can someone tell me how I can go about this ??

I am really confused with all the documentation that is there...

Thanks a lot for your help in advance,

SATISH
