[Python-talk] Building extensions

[bruce.labitt at autoliv.com]

At some time this was bound to happen...  I need to add on an extension to 
python that will implement some sort of parallel socket communications.  I 
have found two candidates, PSOCKETS, which apparently was built with 
gcc3.4, and UDT C++ library which at least builds in the more modern gcc.

For an absolute beginner, which tools would be easiest?  SWIG, 
Boost.Python ?  Something else?  Each library is somewhat large, so I hope 
this won't be too painful.  I have taken a look at SWIG, but not 
Boost.Python.

Thanks,
Bruce
