POImporting python boost module
text
Body
copied!<p>I built a DLL in VS2010 with boost::python to export some function to a python module:</p> <p>myDLL.cpp:</p> <pre><code>std::string greet() { return "hello, world"; } int square(int number) { return number * number; } BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(getting_started1) { // Add regular functions to the module. def("greet", greet); def("square", square); } </code></pre> <p>Up to here, everything compiles just fine. I then get the myDLL.dll and myDLL.lib file in c:\myDLL\Debug.</p> <p>According to boost doc (http://wiki.python.org/moin/boost.python/SimpleExample), I need to add this to PYTHONPATH, so I added c:\myDLL\Debug to it: PYTHONPATH: C:\Python27;c:\myDLL\Debug;</p> <p>then, from my .py file, I try to import it: </p> <pre><code>import getting_started1 print getting_started1.greet() number = 11 print number, '*', number, '=', getting_started1.square(number) </code></pre> <p>I have also tried from myDLL import getting_started1, and from getting_started1 import *, and all possible combinations of sorts.</p> <p>Can anyone tell me how am I supposed to call my module? Thanks</p> <p>EDIT: According to cgohlke, there should be a getting_started1.pyd somewhere in my PYTHONPATH when I compile in VS? This file is inexistant... Do I have to set somethign different in VS2010? I have a default win32 DLL project. But the boost doc says " If we build this shared library and put it on our PYTHONPATH", isn't a shared library on windows a DLL? ergo, the DLL should be in the PYTHONPATH?</p>
