Python Mapscript Swig Problem

[Alan Boudreault]

Hi,

I would like to know if I am the only one who experienced the following
problem:

When I compile the python mapscript (svn trunk), the swig python wrapper seems
to be wrong. Everytime, I have to open the "mapscript.py" file manually, and
correct the indentation problem at line 718 and 1247. I've also generated the
python mapscript of Mapserver 5.4.2 and the problem is not present.

My swig version: SWIG Version 1.3.36

Alan

Alan,

You might want to check if my patch:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/changeset/9230

is introducing this problem for you.  I found I was having a similar problem
and I *suspect* there is a difference in the effect of the indentation
depending on swig version.

It may prove to be appropriate to back out my change, and for me to upgrade
my swig.  I'm not sure what version of swig I was using on the system in
question.

It might also be possible to restructure this code snippet in pymodule.i to
avoid whatever ambiguity is messing us up.

Best regards,

Hi Frank,

springmeyer on IRC confirmed that upgrading the swig to a recent release
fixed the problem. I don't know if something could be done to fix that
for all swig version. It would be nice because Debian lenny (stable) and
Ubuntu hardy to karmic use that release. I'll try to take a look in the
next days.

Thanks,
Alan
