Try a cython approach

[tmetsch]

Check if cython can be used...

And make sure we can run it on windows. I've been following http://wiki.cython.org/64BitCythonExtensionsOnWindows, and the last road block to having lsb_init() working is that the compiler is still looking for "unistd.h" header. I can share my experiment if you like.

That would be great indeed! I've been looking into it a bit a while ago but stopped for a sec - because I had so many commands with some problems. So any tipps & tricks are welcome! Cheer!

Look at this:
$ python
ActivePython 2.7.2.5 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 24 2011, 12:22:14) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win
32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import lsflib
Initializing lsflib
lsflib.LSF("foo")
calling lsb_init()
done 0
<lsflib.LSF object at 0x0000000002C983F0>
quit()

:-)

I'll package what I have done and send it.

Awesome! Cool stuff!

[am21]

You've got mail. And there is much more than just lsb_init() now :-) This is way easier than SWIG in my opinion.

[am21]

you had time to look at the code yet? I added openjobinfo()/readjobinfo()/closejobinfo(), this is pretty easy stuff

[tmetsch]

Awesome!

Not yet - but it sounds great! Will definetly look into it - btw: got the request to try this stuff with openlava too. Will maybe move to cython and test it with openlava.
