First Beta version of GSPython.dll is now available. You can write Python code inside your c-script files.

At the moment the only thing you can pass back and forth between Python and Acknex are strings.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Example:

Code:

---

 
include <gspython.wdl>;

// Define a string for you to use. I default it to 1000 characters here.
string MyPythonString[1000];

text python_txt
{

layer = 1;
pos_x = 50;
pos_y = 50;
strings = 1;
font = standard_font;
string = MyPythonString;
alpha = 100;
flags = narrow, transparent, visible;

} 

function EvaluatePython() {
 
 dll_handle = dll_open("GSPython.dll");
 
 // Fill our test string with something
 str_cpy(MyPythonString,"123");

 // Create and Initialize the Python Engine
 Python_Init();

 // Link MyPythonString to a string variable defined in Python named AckNexStr.
 // Changes to one effect changes to the other.
 Python_LinkStr("AckNexStr",MyPythonString);
 
 // Evaluate code.
 Python("

# Print goes nowhere right now
print 2+2

# Test the Acknex<->Python string interface
AckNexStr.Value = AckNexStr.Value + '456' + AckNexStr.Value

");

 // Free the Python Engine
 Python_Free();
 
 dll_close(dll_handle);
 
}
