Experimental Python bindings
============================

These bindings are currently experimental, as it is not yet clear how best
to create and maintain them. They are built upon the C++ interface as the
object oriented nature of it sits much better with Python.

At present, it is necessary to compile and install the C++ library before
working with the bindings.

To generate the bindings, swig 3.0.2 has been used, but earlier versions
may work too:

  swig -c++ -python -py3 pyiir.i

To build the extension, distutils is used:

  python3 setup.py build_ext

Note that the -L ${LIBDIR} option may be handy if libiir++ is not installed
into the system library path.

To install the extension:

 python3 setup.py install
