Lurkers and lone voices, I moved the source files into separate packages and modules and have documented them and partially marked-up the files with epydoc. The unfinished version of the (implementation independent) Python SAGA api can be found at: https://svn.cct.lsu.edu/repos/saga-projects/language-bindings/pysaga/apidoc.... Return values, types and optional parameters are not yet clear for all methods but I am working on it. Although last time there was a discussion that buffers were "not pythonesqe" they must be added since they are part of the specification. Of course, >>>string = file.read(10) will be part of pysaga, but
file.read(10, buffer) will be too.
Which brings me to the following: what is frequently used in Python to represent a mutable buffer? I have seen immutable strings being used, but also lists and array of chars. Python-3000 will have mutable buffer and bytes, but we are not there yet. I also can't seem to figure out how it is done in the Cpp python wrapper. If anyone has an idea about the buffers, don't be a silent lurker :) Paul.
