To run pyste, you will need:</p>
<ul><li>Python 2.2, avaiable at <a href="http://www.python.org">
python's website</a>.</li><li>The great <a href="http://effbot.org">
elementtree</a> library, from Fredrik Lundh.</li><li>The excellent <a href="http://www.gccxml.org">
GCCXML</a>, from Brad King.</li></ul><p>
Installation for the tools is avaiable in their respective webpages.</p>
<table width="80%" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="note_box">
<img src="theme/note.gif"></img> <a href="http://www.gccxml.org">
GCCXML</a> must be accessible in the PATH environment variable, so
that pyste can call it. How to do this varies from platform to platform.

<a name="ok__now_what_"></a><h2>Ok, now what?</h2><p>
Well, now let's fire it up:</p>
<code><pre>
&gt;python pyste.py
Usage:
pyste [options] --module=&lt;name&gt; interface-files
where options are:
-I &lt;path&gt; add an include path
-D &lt;symbol&gt; define symbol
--no-using do not declare &quot;using namespace boost&quot;;
use explicit declarations instead
--pyste-ns=&lt;name&gt; set the namespace where new types will be declared;
default is &quot;pyste&quot;
</pre></code><p>
Options explained:</p>
<p>
The <tt>-I</tt> and <tt>-D</tt> are preprocessor flags, which are needed by gccxml to parse the header files correctly and by pyste to find the header files declared in the
interface files.</p>
<p>
<tt>--no-using</tt> tells pyste to don't declare &quot;<tt>using namespace boost;</tt>&quot; in the
generated cpp, using the namespace boost::python explicitly in all declarations.
Use only if you're having a name conflict in one of the files.</p>
<p>
Use <tt>--pyste-ns</tt> to change the namespace where new types are declared (for
instance, the virtual wrappers). Use only if one of your header files declare a
namespace named &quot;pyste&quot; and this is causing conflicts.</p>
<p>
So, the usage is simple enough:</p>
<code><pre>&gt;python pyste.py --module=mymodule file.pyste file2.pyste ...</pre></code><p>
will generate a file <tt>mymodule.cpp</tt> in the same dir where the command was
executed. Now you can compile the file using the same instructions of the
<a href="../../doc/tutorial/doc/building_hello_world.html">
tutorial</a>. </p>
<a name="wait____how_do_i_set_those_i_and_d_flags_"></a><h2>Wait... how do I set those I and D flags?</h2><p>
Don't worry: normally <a href="http://www.gccxml.org">
GCCXML</a> is already configured correctly for your plataform,
so the search path to the standard libraries and the standard defines should
already be set. You only have to set the paths to other libraries that your code
needs, like Boost, for example.</p>
<p>
Plus, Pyste automatically uses the contents of the environment variable
<tt>INCLUDE</tt> if it exists. Visual C++ users should run the <tt>Vcvars32.bat</tt> file,
which for Visual C++ 6 is normally located at:</p>
<code><pre>
<span class=identifier>C</span><span class=special>:\</span><span class=identifier>Program </span><span class=identifier>Files</span><span class=special>\</span><span class=identifier>Microsoft </span><span class=identifier>Visual </span><span class=identifier>Studio</span><span class=special>\</span><span class=identifier>VC98</span><span class=special>\</span><span class=identifier>bin</span><span class=special>\</span><span class=identifier>Vcvars32</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>bat
</span></pre></code>
<p>
with that, you should have little trouble setting up the flags.</p>
