wrapping C functions in python

[Paul Anton Letnes]

Brian and Diez:

First of all, thanks for the advice.

Brian:

I have installed NumPy and SciPy, but I can't seem to find a wavelet  
transform there.

The main point of this was more to learn C wrapping than to actually  
get a calculation done. I will probably be starting a PhD soon, doing  
really heavy computations. If I want to manipulate data (input /  
results), python is very nice, especially with gnuplot-py. However,  
heavy calculations should probably be done in C(++), especially as  
some code for this already exists.

I will look into SWIG.


Diez:

I will look into it. Do you know a good tutorial for this? I found the  
"standard" tutorial on C extensions, http://www.python.org/doc/ext/intro.html 
  , but as I mentioned, it seems to be a bit complicated to wrap heavy  
data structures like arrays.



Cheers
PA.
