#68793 — Help needed to create a Python extension library for an existing shared memory hash table library

Hi Python fans, I just released my first open source project ever called SharedHashFile [1]. It's a shared memory hash table written in C. Some guy on Quora asked [2] whether there's an extension library for Python coming out. I would like to do one but I know little about Python. I was wondering if anybody in this group has experience writing extension libraries for Python? Could you help? Or could we collaborate? Thanks and all the best, Simon

There are, as far as I know, a number of tools that can help you
to create extension modules from C/C++ libraries (i.e. Python bin-
dings for the library). One that I have used successfully with a
largish C++ library of mine is shortly described here

and the documentation and download are at

http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/sip4/

Since I haven't used any of the alternatives I can't comment on
how good they are. A list of them can be found here

Thats an old looking list -- pyrex is on, boost is not
Worst of all the basic builting extending/embedding seems to be
not mentioned!

Heres a list I posted recently
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2013-June/650250.html

If it looks ok, maybe it should go up on that wiki
