ForexConnect API with Python

Hello,

I try to make an API application for the FXCM API but have issues to import
the CPP dlls for use in Python.
Do you have a Python example in how the CPP Dlls will be imported into
Python ?

Hi Frank,

1) If you want a quality API in Python, you can write your own wrapper:
- for C++ there is boost.python: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0...doc/index.html;
- for C (you will need our C wrapper: win32 or win64): http://docs.python.org/2/extending/extending.html or SWIG http://www.swig.org/. SWIG is a C-wrapper generator.
2) Another variant. Here is an example of the user who uses Python through COM Dll: http://fxcodebase.com/code/viewtopic...&t=7611#p16973

If you know how to work through COM-wrapper, you can download it from here:

I've started open source project some time ago see link below. It's still not complete, but maybe someone could find the project useful.
It's boost.python C++ wrapper around FXCM's library, with test in Python.

There are just source codes freely available for compilation and/or customization, so no installation package (yet...).
