This examples tests the SWIG generated module being placed into a directory and then renamed __init__.py to convert the module into a package. This ability stopped working in swig-3.0.9. However, only Python 2.7 or 3.3 and later work. If Python 3.2 support is needed, use moduleimport in %module to customise the import code. Issue #1282

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.
