| This example tests renaming the generated SWIG pure Python module to __init__.py |
| to turn the module into a Python package. |
| |
| Use 'python runme.py' to run the test. |
| |
| Overview: |
| --------- |
| |
| SWIG generates a pure Python module foo.py from the input interface file foo.i. |
| The foo.py file is generated within the pkg1 directory and is then renamed __init__.py. |
| This results in everything in the SWIG generated module being available in the Python |
| pkg1 package. |
| |
| This approach of turning the SWIG generated module into a package worked in versions |
| of SWIG up to swig-3.0.8, but stopped working from swig-3.0.9 until it was |
| re-instated in swig-4.0.0. However, Python 2.7 or 3.3 and later are needed to |
| work out of the box. Python 3.2 does not work as this version of Python does |
| not set __package__ in __init__.py. |
