[Clam-devel] Re: QConsole at CLAM

Tue Mar 4 10:58:12 PST 2008

There are several development ways regarding python-CLAM integration. Most of 
them are discussed as CLAM GSoC proposals.

One way is using SIP [1], SWIG[2] or similar to wrap CLAM API and just 
programming CLAM using python. SIP is a C++ to Python API wrapper. The 
problem is that CLAM has a too extensive API that we would like to reduce. We 
could pick the key bits.

[2] http://www.swig.org/

Other, that does not imply forcedly Python, would be wrapping just the network 
construction API (create, connect, delete, move, configure, select...) and 
offer it to an interactive console with completition on the NetworkEditor 
alla AutoCAD. Macros (non-interactive) could be are also usefull in this 
context. This one could use the QConsole widget.

We hadn't any festival related idea and i am not able to get it on what you 
say. If you could develop it further?
