Research Letters welcomes papers from staff and graduate students at Massey University in the areas of: Computer Science, Information Science, Mathematics, Statistics and the Physical and Engineering Sciences. Research letters is a preprint series that accepts articles of completed research work, technical reports, or preliminary results from ongoing research. After editing, articles are published online and can be referenced, or handed out at conferences. Copyright remains with the authors and the articles can be used as preprints to academic journal publications or handed out at conferences. Editors Dr Elena Calude Dr Napoleon Reyes The guidelines for writing a manuscript can be accessed here.

    Source code: automatic C library wrapping - Ctypes from the trenches
    (Massey University, 2009) Kloss, Guy K.
    At some point of time many Python developers at least in computational science will face the situation that they want to interface some natively compiled library from Python. For binding native code to Python by now a larger variety of tools and technologies are available. This paper focuses on wrapping shared C libraries, using Python's default Ctypes, with the help of the matching source code generator from CtypesLib.

    Automatic C library wrapping Ctypes from the trenches
    (Massey University, 2009) Kloss, Guy K.
    At some point of time many Python developers at least in computational science will face the situation that they want to interface some natively compiled library from Python. For binding native code to Python by now a larger variety of tools and technologies are available. This paper focuses on wrapping shared C libraries, using Python's default Ctypes. Particularly tools to ease the process (by using code generation) and some best practises will be stressed. The paper will try to tell a step by step story of the wrapping and development process, that should be transferable to similar problems.
