Python bindings and OpenFOAM-1.5-dev

francois · July 4, 2009, 10:35

Hi all,

Any news on the python bindings for the library (to the level of physics solvers) on the OpenFOAM-1.5-dev branch ?

It could be an awesome feature/enhancement for users and for teaching purpose regarding the readability and easiness of python.

Thanks
Have a nice day.

Hrv Jasak has shown some examples/demonstrations where OpenFOAM libraries have been wrapped in SWIG. OF objects can then be loaded from a python shell or script. With ipython/scipy/numpy/OpenFOAMpy, you would have a very cool and powerful tool.

Since we haven't heard anything about it here no the forum, my guess is that it is still in the experimental stage.

First, credit to Ivor who did a ton of work on this - much appreciated.

This is actually ready for release, but the delay is due to other related things that should go in. The biggest being, of course the Windows port, CMake and a set of new features.

I know the release of all the lovely new features is now disgracefully late (my fault), but (if it makes you feel better) this is now Priority #1 on my desk. I will keep you posted - python bindings are definitely ready.

If you wish to have a go, there is an experimental repository somewhere about...

Hello Hrv,

A Good Morning to you! Nice to see you active on the forum again :-)!

Your last post on this thread has made me very curious.... does this imply, that a native Windows port of OpenFOAM-1.xx-dev is basically almost ready for use?

This would be very exciting news for a lot of people including me :-)!

As usual.... if you would like someone to test-ride the port, I would be glad to offer my help!

Have a nice Sunday!
