Revision history [back]

We use python wrappers in several packages already. See tf and kdl for two examples.

We don't compile them using distutils as they're general c++ libraries being used from inside python.

If you want to use distutils all you have to do is write the Makefile in your package to call distutils as needed to build the objects in your package.
