Such extension modules are -often called bindings for the library. - -SIP is a tool that makes it very easy to create Python bindings for C -and C++ libraries. It was originally developed to create PyQt, the -Python bindings for the Qt toolkit, but can be used to create bindings -for any C or C++ library. - -NOTE: -This package will, by default, overwrite some files contained in the -stock kdebindings package included in Slackware. The version of sip -included with kdebindings is an older version which works fine for -generating qt3/kde3 python bindings, but the newer versions are needed -to generate qt4 python bindings (pyqt4 on SlackBuilds.org). To the -best of our knowledge, sip is backwards compatible, so there shouldn't -be any adverse effects from the overwritten files, but we cannot make -any promises. If you do encounter problems, remove this sip package -and reinstall the stock kdebinding package, and then notify the -maintainer of this build script (see the sip.info file). -As an alternative, this build script provides a PREFIX variable that -can be set to select a different installation prefix (such as /opt). -Doing so will require you to add the directory in which the sip binary -is located to your PATH, add the sip includes directory to your -compiler includes search path, and add the sip python module path to -your PYTHONPATH environment variable. All of these things will have -to be done manually and in such a way that they take priority over the -files installed in /usr prefix. |
