CGAL users discussion list

[Guillaume Gay <>]

Hi all,

I want to wrap LinearCellComplex derived objects in python, with
attributes being accessible as numpy arrays from an interactive python
session.

I started using Boost.Python to do so, but hit a low point in tools and
documentation when getting to numpy integration (two projects:
Boost.Numpy and numpy-boost can be found on github, but they aren't much
documented, and seem cumbersome).

Cython can now wrap C++ code, and looks like the prefered way to act now
(SWIG in my experience is not great).

I saw that a GSOC 2013 dealt with interfacing CGAL and Sage, and was arguing 
for Cython use. Has this
project been productive?

Can anyone on this list elaborate on that?

Thanks a lot,

Best,

Guillaume
