[GE users] Re: [drmaa-wg] Re: [GE users] python DRMAA module

[Tim Harsch]

Rayson et al,
    When I created the SWIG file for the Perl module ( Schedule::DRMAAc ) I 
started off with keeping it generic in mind.  The idea being one SWIG file 
would create bindings for any of the SWIG supported languages.  I quickly 
learned its not quite that simple.  It's still possible, its just that 
tricky functions you need to get language specifc.  So you define the 
function once of Perl, then again for Python, etc.
    Then also, there is the language support stuff that should be included 
with the module distro...   like the required wrapper.

    Given all that, I think Enrico took the right approach by starting with 
my swig file and then altering it to work with Python.  I hope in the future 
someone will try it for the other languages like Ruby.   Or if we're lucky 
we'll get a Chicken binding ;-)

First of all, thanks Enrico for the module...

Did anyone look at using SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface
Generator) ?? It seems like with SWIG, you only need to define the
interface once and the tool will generate bindings for many languages.
