Integrating physics engine, then exposing functions in pytho

General Discussion
1

IF I want to integrate a physics engine how are the physics functions exposed/bound in python?

Could you direct me to some reading on this…
Does this have to be done manually-- each function at a time, or is there some mechanism that would expose them automatically.

Thanks,

Dan

You have three choices:

  • do it manually

  • use a third-party tool like “SWIG” or “pyrex” or something like that.

  • use panda’s tool, “interrogate”

For the third option, you’ll want to have a look at the panda development wiki. I can’t remember the URL, but search the forums, it’s there.

Do any of these tools automatically expose all functions?
Or does each function have to be added manually?

Does Panda3d.org use swig for the python interface?

Thanks,
