NAME

ivycpy - a wrapper around ivy-c to get a Python stub to Ivy

VERSION

Current version is _VERSION_.

SYNOPSIS

ivycpy library procures a way to connect Python/Python-Tkinter application on an Ivy bus.

WARNING

This current source version allows to link ivycpy with locally installed version of [tcl/tk, adapted version of [Python/Tkinter]]. ivycpy requires still some patches on _tkinter.c (see dev docs for further information). As a consequence, ivycpy is not presented as debian package any more. The source package allows to install the software as an OPTional package.

This version is strictly compatible with ivy-c [3.2 .. 3.6] and can be dynamically linked to a new version of ivy-c, if ivy-c api is unchanged which is quite unlikely.

So provided that, you installed compatible version of tcl/tk and Python/Tkinter (adapted by yourself), ivy-c and ivy-c-dev, it should be easy to rebuilt a new version of ivycpy adapted to the needs. See for building instructions

A former version ivycpy213sa has been delivered as a debian package tightly linked with woody 3.0 set of package , ie.:

but it was clearly immatured and awkward !

DESCRIPTION

ivycpy is not a native python language binding to Ivy but, a wrapper around C level functions. ivycpy was made with swig (Scripting Wrapper Interface Generator). For a hands on experience, see, next section.

EXAMPLES

To have a clear view of how to use this library, please, have a look at the examples normally accessible at examples.
