Hi,
I would like to develop a Python interface for Quantlib using "ctypes". I understand there are already excellent Python interfaces for Quantlib (SWIG and PyQL) but they are somewhat tied to the same compiler choice as for the Python distribution.
On the other hand ctypes is perhaps a more primitive way of interfacing Python but it doesn't have the limitation above.
I am trying to build the pure "C" interface of the QuantlibAddin package, but it looks like the corresponding project file (AddinC_vc8.vcproj) refers to some non-existing source files (at least not in the same path where it expects to find them).
This is a bit frustrating also because the Excel interface (QuantlibXL) is extremely well developed and documented and I expect the "C" interface to be the same thing in practice (with the only addition of the Excel4 callback functions which can only be called by a running instance of Excel, not from Python).
Is there a quick way of generating the "C" interface for the QuantlibAddin in pretty much the same way as for QuantlibXL, getting -in other words- a DLL with the same functions but no Excel callbacks?
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Many thanks,
LM
