In view of the recent discussion of Python bindings, here is some private correspondence from a nommember. He seems to have some good ideas. I think I'll let Jamie make any commits of Python material. Thanks, John ----- Forwarded message from Leo <fhaxbox66@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ----- Subject: Re: liblouis on Windows From: Leo <fhaxbox66@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2009 16:00:47 +0200 To: "John J. Boyer" <johnjboyer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> John, I have had another look at the win32 dll and the Python bindings and I have made it work. The issue was that I had copied the dll in the package dir rather than a system dir where Windows normally searches for dll's. To find this out I had to read the docs for the ctypes module (in the Python standard library). I have also added support for Liblouis to my Transcribo program (10 lines). But over all this is still in alpha stage. Regards Leo On 02/05/2009, John J. Boyer <johnjboyer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Leo, > > I will keep your comments in mind.
