[SciPy-dev] weave -- inline C/C++ in Python, an implementation

[eric]

Hey Fernando,

The fixed width problem occurs for me too.  I haven't found the cause yet.
I'll keep looking later tonight.

The problem with cerr was supposed to go away when I hard coded the
inclusion of the stdc++ library
in build_tools.py.  Hmmm.  Looks like I did this in a pretty hap-hazard way:

        if sys.platform[:-1] == 'linux':
            libraries = kw.get('libraries',[])
            kw['libraries'] = ['stdc++'] +  libraries

Looks like this is guaranteed to fail for most cases.  Does mandrake define
sys.platform differently than
RH?  Anyway, I've changed this to:

        if compiler_name != 'msvc':
            libraries = kw.get('libraries',[])
            kw['libraries'] = ['stdc++'] +  libraries

so it should add the library for everything except microsoft vc++.  Until I
figure out how to do this right (like force g++),
hopefully this will work.

I've uploaded new source files.  Please see if this fixes the problem.

thanks,
eric
