Converting c++ file to a python file

[mand...@gmail.com]

Hi team,

I am trying to convert a c++ file to a python file and run it using `./waf --pyrun scratch/aodv.py` There I need a way to convert this following line.

#include "myapp.h"

I have tried `import myapp` in python file. But that doesn't work even myapp.h file is in the same scratch folder. So anyone has an idea? 

Thanks & Regards,

Mandula

ns-3 is implemented in C++. Most of the functionality is made available to Python, through a build process called “binding generation.” You may have seen this discussed on the list.

Examples and things in scratch ARE NOT available in Python. That’s why you’ll find some examples in both C++ and Python, as illustrations of how to use ns-3.

I’m guessing that myapp.h and myapp.cc are your code in scratch, perhaps from following the tutorial? You won’t be able to call that from Python, since bindings aren’t generated for things in scratch.

You *could* put the myapp.h/cc files instead/applications/model/, for example, then the binding process could make myapp accessible in Python. You’ll have to find the instructions on the ns-3 wiki to get that to work.
