   1 SWIG 1.3 Patches
   2 ================
   3
   4 This directory holds a set of patches for the CVS version of SWIG that
   5 are required if you wish to use SWIG for wxPython development, or for
   6 building your own extension modules that need to interface with
   7 wxPython.  These have been submitted to SWIG's SourceForge patch
   8 tracker, so hopefully they will get incorporated into the main SWIG
   9 source tree soon.

  11 wxPython currently uses the 20-Feb-2004 version of SWIG.  You can get
  12 that version from their CVS using these commands::

  25 swig.python-docstring.patch  Adds "autodoc" and "docstring" features.
  26                              See SF Patch #883402
  27
  28                              Also changes the "addtofunc" feature to
  29                              "pythonappend" and also adds a
  30                              "pythonprepend" feature that prepends
  31                              pythoncode to the begining of a
  32                              SWIG-generated proxy function or method.
  33
  34 swig.xmlout.patch            Fixes a couple problems in the XML output
  35                              of SWIG: an extra "/>" was removed and
  36                              newlines in attribute values were changed
  37                              to the #10; entity reference so they will
  38                              be preserved by parsers.
  39
  40                              Also, added options for dumping or
  41                              writing to a file the XML of the parse
  42                              tree *after* other language modules have
  43                              been run (previously you could only do
  44                              the XML output *instead of* a regular
  45                              language module.)
  46                              See SF Patch #864689

  51 These patches have already been checked in to SWIG's CVS and are in

  55 swig.SplitLines.patch       Adds a new SplitLines function to the DOH
  56                             library.  See SF Patch #829317.
  57                             *Checked in 10/31/2003*
  58
  59 swig.xml.patch              Adds an option that drastically reduces
  60                             the size of the XML output of SWIG, which
  61                             increases the performance of the
  62                             build_renamers script used in the wxPython
  63                             build.  See SF Patch #829319.
  64                             *Checked in 10/31/2003*
  65
  66 swig.python.patch           Lots of changes for SWIG's Python module,
  67                             especially in how the proxy code is
  68                             generated.  See swig.python.patch.txt for
  69                             more details, also SF Patch #829325.
