[SciPy-user] Problem with Weave

[eric jones]

Hey Bob,

The docs are seriously out of date.  Sorry about that.

Much of the crud that you used to need for handling C++->Python type 
conversions is now gone.  Here is how I wrote your example:

C:\Documents and Settings\eric>python
Enthought Edition build 1057
Python 2.3.3 (#51, Feb 16 2004, 04:07:52) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import weave
 >>> a=1
 >>> a=weave.inline("return_val=a+1;",['a'])
file changed
msvc
No module named msvccompiler in scipy_distutils, trying from distutils..
No module named msvccompiler in scipy_distutils, trying from distutils..
Missing compiler_cxx fix for MSVCCompiler
 >>> a
2

The output is quite verbose now (too verbose), but the amount of code 
you need to write is less.  The weave/examples files (weave will be 
installed in your site-packages directory) generally have been updated 
to the new syntax and will provide some help.  Also, if you are a C++ 
person, then looking at the weave/scxx/object.h file will give some 
hints as to what is going on.

see ya,
eric
