cinterop - helpers for Python-C interop via CFFI

master: testing:

This package is primarily for managing and marshalling resources in native libraries, written for instance in C++, from Python. The package includes some generic helper facilities on top of CFFI for basic C types, and additional facilities for passing various types of data structures (C structs). These are informed mostly by the domain of environmental modelling and simulation, but most are generic.

• date/time
• numeric or character vectors
• numeric or character dictionaries
• univariate or multivariate time series
• statistical definitions

Ancestry, acknowledgements

This python package cinterop relates loosely to prior work for interoperability between C++, R and .NET (R.NET)

cinterop features using cffi were also significantly informed by Kevin Plastow's work while he was at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology; this contribution is gratefully acknowledged.

In you have native interop needs you may also want to look at:

• the nuget package dynamic-interop-dll for .NET/native interop.
• Reference counting package refcount
• a C# library for generating interop glue code on top of C API glue code.
