*** Initial release of OS/2 REXX API extension module for Python ***
PYREXX.ZIP 26-Nov-97 PYREXX.ZIP
This extension module can be used as a standalone DLL or built
into the Python executables. It gives you the ability to use
functionality within REXX DLLs as if you were a REXX script.
See the REXX.PY source for more technical details.
As this is the first release, no one but me has beat on the
module so expect some bugs -- and please report them to me.
Also if you find anything hard to understand, let me know
so I can improve the docs.
This module was developed using Python 1.5 alpha 4 with the IBM
VisualAge C/C++ for OS/2 port I've done. I have not tested it
with GNU C ports to OS/2.
If this module is successful, I expect to submit it for inclusion
in the base Python distribution before 1.5 goes general release.
Until then, it may take a little work to get it to build in
environments other than mine, but hopefully not too much.
I would welcome any examples of usage people might build, and
certainly if someone provided a Python DBAPI wrapper for IBM's
DB2/2, I would be overjoyed.
Have fun and let me know what you think.
