Python Binary and Windows

[peetm]

Hi.

I'd like to compile (?) the DiffLib Python code into a binary form that can
be called by other Windows apps - like, I'd like to compile it into a DLL.

Is this possible?

Many thanks!

Not so easy. Better install WinDiff. If you really have to do it, elmer will
be of use for you.

But it will still be far from being trivial.

Thanks for making me aware of the difflib module. I don't know there is
such cool module exists.

You can make it available to other Windows program as a COM object. The
win32 api should be all you need. It might be slightly challenging because
some parameters are list of strings which might need a little work to
translate into COM parameters.

you can link your DLL (or application) against the Python DLL, and use
the Python API to pass data from C/C++ to Python, and back again.

for details, see the "embedding" sections in

http://docs.python.org/api/api.html
