The library contains useful C++ code for developing Python extensions through Boost.Python but also through SWIG or the simple C API. At present mds-utils contains: 1. a tool for detecting machine endianity. 2. some useful classes that allow to treat the old C FILE pointer as a C++ stream. 3. C++ classes that help on treating Python file objects as C++ streams. 4. simple utilities for indexing support in Python extensions. 5. new C++ to-Python and from-Python converters for some Boost uBlas objects. 6. a new sequence iterator that is able to wrap Python sequences and allows also to modify them. This feature does not depend on Boost.Python. 7. new from/to Python conversion utilities that do not depend on Boost.Python. Furthermore, the new release has been tested with Python 2.7.3 too, while the previous one had some issues with Python >= 2.5. Best regards to all. -- Michele De Stefano Web Site Linked In mds-utils: a general purpose Open Source library
