PyBindGen

Does PyBindGen generate python bindings for any C code?

Asked by pgega

Hi,

I am not a C expert, but I have to create bindings for C code.
My problem is , does PyBindGen generate bindings for any C code - I need to create the bindings for fsvs , but the project's website says it does not provide an API, is it a problem for PyBindGen ?

That is the project's website http://fsvs.tigris.org/

Cheers,
Pawel Gega

Creating bindings for C with PyBindGen is possible but is more difficult than C++.

However if the project does not provide an API, that is a problem.. it's a problem for any language binding tool, in fact :-)

If you want to provide a Python API for fsvs the only option that I can see is to write a Python module that offers a Python API but then calls the fsvs binary, using the Python module 'subprocess'. But at this point your problem becomes unrelated to PyBindGen.

Can you help with this problem?
