Example Python extension for Windows NT
=======================================
This directory contains everything needed (except for the Python
distribution!) to build a Python extension module using Microsoft VC++
("Developer Studio") version 7.1. It has been tested with VC++ 7.1 on
Python 2.4. You can also use earlier versions of VC to build Python
extensions, but the sample VC project file (example.dsw in this directory)
is in VC 7.1 format. Notice that you need to use the same compiler version
that was used to build Python itself.
COPY THIS DIRECTORY!
--------------------
This "example_nt" directory is a subdirectory of the PC directory, in order
to keep all the PC-specific files under the same directory. However, the
example_nt directory can't actually be used from this location. You first
need to copy or move it up one level, so that example_nt is a direct
sibling of the PC\ and Include\ directories. Do all your work from within
this new location -- sorry, but you'll be sorry if you don't.
OPEN THE PROJECT
----------------
From VC 7.1, use the
File -> Open Solution...
dialog (*not* the "File -> Open..." dialog!). Navigate to and select the
file "example.sln", in the *copy* of the example_nt directory you made
above.
Click Open.
BUILD THE EXAMPLE DLL
---------------------
In order to check that everything is set up right, try building:
1. Select a configuration. This step is optional. Do
Build -> Configuration Manager... -> Active Solution Configuration
and select either "Release" or "Debug".
If you skip this step, you'll use the Debug configuration by default.
2. Build the DLL. Do
Build -> Build Solution
This creates all intermediate and result files in a subdirectory which
is called either Debug or Release, depending on which configuration you
picked in the preceding step.
TESTING THE DEBUG-MODE DLL
--------------------------
Once the Debug build has succeeded, bring up a DOS box, and cd to
example_nt\Debug. You should now be able to repeat the following session
("C>" is the DOS prompt, ">>>" is the Python prompt) (note that various
debug output from Python may not match this screen dump exactly):
C>..\..\PCbuild\python_d
Adding parser accelerators ...
Done.
Python 2.2c1+ (#28, Dec 14 2001, 18:06:39) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import example
[7052 refs]
>>> example.foo()
Hello, world
[7052 refs]

TESTING THE RELEASE-MODE DLL
----------------------------
Once the Release build has succeeded, bring up a DOS box, and cd to
example_nt\Release. You should now be able to repeat the following session
("C>" is the DOS prompt, ">>>" is the Python prompt):
C>..\..\PCbuild\python
Python 2.2c1+ (#28, Dec 14 2001, 18:06:04) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import example
>>> example.foo()
Hello, world
>>>
Congratulations! You've successfully built your first Python extension
module.
CREATING YOUR OWN PROJECT
-------------------------
Choose a name ("spam" is always a winner :-) and create a directory for
it. Copy your C sources into it. Note that the module source file name
does not necessarily have to match the module name, but the "init" function
name should match the module name -- i.e. you can only import a module
"spam" if its init function is called "initspam()", and it should call
Py_InitModule with the string "spam" as its first argument (use the minimal
example.c in this directory as a guide). By convention, it lives in a file
called "spam.c" or "spammodule.c". The output file should be called
"spam.dll" or "spam.pyd" (the latter is supported to avoid confusion with a
system library "spam.dll" to which your module could be a Python interface)
in Release mode, or spam_d.dll or spam_d.pyd in Debug mode.
Now your options are:
1) Copy example.sln and example.vcproj, rename them to spam.*, and edit them
by hand.
or
2) Create a brand new project; instructions are below.
In either case, copy example_nt\example.def to spam\spam.def, and edit the
new spam.def so its second line contains the string "initspam". If you
created a new project yourself, add the file spam.def to the project now.
(This is an annoying little file with only two lines. An alternative
approach is to forget about the .def file, and add the option
"/export:initspam" somewhere to the Link settings, by manually editing the
"Project -> Properties -> Linker -> Command Line -> Additional Options"
box).
You are now all set to build your extension, unless it requires other
external libraries, include files, etc. See Python's Extending and
Embedding manual for instructions on how to write an extension.
CREATING A BRAND NEW PROJECT
----------------------------
Use the
File -> New -> Project...
dialog to create a new Project Workspace. Select "Visual C++ Projects/Win32/
Win32 Project", enter the name ("spam"), and make sure the "Location" is
set to parent of the spam directory you have created (which should be a direct
subdirectory of the Python build tree, a sibling of Include and PC).
In "Application Settings", select "DLL", and "Empty Project". Click OK.
You should now create the file spam.def as instructed in the previous
section. Add the source files (including the .def file) to the project,
using "Project", "Add Existing Item".
Now open the
Project -> spam properties...
dialog. (Impressive, isn't it? :-) You only need to change a few
settings. Make sure "All Configurations" is selected from the "Settings
for:" dropdown list. Select the "C/C++" tab. Choose the "General"
category in the popup menu at the top. Type the following text in the
entry box labeled "Addditional Include Directories:"
..\Include,..\PC
Then, choose the "General" category in the "Linker" tab, and enter
..\PCbuild
in the "Additional library Directories" box.
Now you need to add some mode-specific settings (select "Accept"
when asked to confirm your changes):
Select "Release" in the "Configuration" dropdown list. Click the
"Link" tab, choose the "Input" Category, and append "python24.lib" to the
list in the "Additional Dependencies" box.
Select "Debug" in the "Settings for:" dropdown list, and append
"python24_d.lib" to the list in the Additional Dependencies" box. Then
click on the C/C++ tab, select "Code Generation", and select
"Multi-threaded Debug DLL" from the "Runtime library" dropdown list.
Select "Release" again from the "Settings for:" dropdown list.
Select "Multi-threaded DLL" from the "Use run-time library:" dropdown list.
That's all <wink>.

Welcome to the "PC" subdirectory of the Python distribution
***********************************************************
*** Note: the project files for MS VC++ 7.1 are now in the
*** PCbuild directory. See the file readme.txt there for build
*** instructions. There is some information below that might
*** still be relevant.
This "PC" subdirectory contains complete project files to make
several older PC ports of Python, as well as all the PC-specific
Python source files. It should be located in the root of the
Python distribution, and there should be directories "Modules",
"Objects", "Python", etc. in the parent directory of this "PC"
subdirectory. Be sure to read the documentation in the Python
distribution.
Python requires library files such as string.py to be available in
one or more library directories. The search path of libraries is
set up when Python starts. To see the current Python library search
path, start Python and enter "import sys" and "print sys.path".
All PC ports use this scheme to try to set up a module search path:
1) The script location; the current directory without script.
2) The PYTHONPATH variable, if set.
3) For Win32 platforms (NT/95), paths specified in the Registry.
4) Default directories lib, lib/win, lib/test, lib/tkinter;
these are searched relative to the environment variable
PYTHONHOME, if set, or relative to the executable and its
ancestors, if a landmark file (Lib/string.py) is found ,
or the current directory (not useful).
5) The directory containing the executable.
The best installation strategy is to put the Python executable (and
DLL, for Win32 platforms) in some convenient directory such as
C:/python, and copy all library files and subdirectories (using XCOPY)
to C:/python/lib. Then you don't need to set PYTHONPATH. Otherwise,
set the environment variable PYTHONPATH to your Python search path.
For example,
set PYTHONPATH=.;d:\python\lib;d:\python\lib\win;d:\python\lib\dos-8x3
There are several add-in modules to build Python programs which use
the native Windows operating environment. The ports here just make
"QuickWin" and DOS Python versions which support a character-mode
(console) environment. Look in www.python.org for Tkinter, PythonWin,
WPY and wxPython.
To make a Python port, start the Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) of your compiler, and read in the native "project file"
(or makefile) provided. This will enable you to change any source
files or build settings so you can make custom builds.
pyconfig.h An important configuration file specific to PC's.
config.c The list of C modules to include in the Python PC
version. Manually edit this file to add or
remove Python modules.
testpy.py A Python test program. Run this to test your
Python port. It should produce copious output,
ending in a report on how many tests were OK, how many
failed, and how many were skipped. Don't worry about
skipped tests (these test unavailable optional features).
Additional files and subdirectories for 32-bit Windows
======================================================
python_nt.rc Resource compiler input for python15.dll.
dl_nt.c, import_nt.c
Additional sources used for 32-bit Windows features.
getpathp.c Default sys.path calculations (for all PC platforms).
dllbase_nt.txt A (manually maintained) list of base addresses for
various DLLs, to avoid run-time relocation.
example_nt A subdirectory showing how to build an extension as a
DLL.
Visual Studio 6.0
=================
The subdirectory VC6 contains Visual Studio 6 project files. These
were originally located in the PCBuild directory, but are no longer
maintained.
IBM VisualAge C/C++ for OS/2
============================
See os2vacpp/readme.txt. This platform is supported by Jeff Rush.
Note for Windows 3.x and DOS users
==================================
Neither Windows 3.x nor DOS is supported any more. The last Python
version that supported these was Python 1.5.2; the support files were
present in Python 2.0 but weren't updated, and it is not our intention
to support these platforms for Python 2.x.
