Hi,
I would also suggest that enum like variables be entirely in capitals
By coincidence I was just discussing with Andre that in Permission None is a python keyword, but so is exec. So you have a point.
Is this a complete Python implementation or is it a wrapper around C++?
Our implementation wraps around C++. If I am not mistaken, Pauls implementation will wrap around Java (using Jython)?
Well, I am making a specification (which we all can use) and lateron adding the jython code to make it interact with the java reference implementation. <from my readme> ....concerning the specification of the Python-SAGA language binding. The result will be a Python specification which is independent of the SAGA reference implementation (Cpp or Java). Later on a java specific backend will be added with the help of Jython.. </end> A user program imports saga.py. In saga.py an environment variable is extracted (SAGA_IMPLEMENTATION_NAME, not decided on final name), and saga.py uses this name to import the various implementation specific python modules. In my case the SAGA_IMPLEMENTATION_NAME is defined as sagajavaLB (still no final name) and in module sagajavaLB, the python files with the java specific code are imported. By each time using 'from <name> import <class>' the user can use the classes like saga.file.File() instead of saga.sagajavaLB.sagaFile.File() Using this, the user could switch language binding implementation (python-to-java of python-to-cpp) by changing the environment variable. In the cpp case, a sagacppLB.py could be added, which imports, (maybe even maps functions to existing functions), and calls the already defined python wrapper. Paul
