  I did a quick write-up of my experiences linking Nim to Python using ctypes. Happy so far :-)

  Brilliant job!

  There is quite a lot of spelling mistakes though:

  • "...with a statment inquiring"
  • "...after some experimentation I've been able to get some things work"
  • "There are quit"
  • "specific peices of code"
  • "We've already see them in use"
  • "the follwing code"
  • "...**furture** posts"

  And likely lot's more. You probably should run it through a spell checker.

  As well as some other random issues:

  "(.dll in Windows, .so in linux/OSX)"

  It's .dylib on OS X.

  If you're exporting a function using {.exportc.} you should probably be using the c* types i.e. cfloat, cint etc.

  Sorry for nitpicking. I really like the article otherwise, it's a nice introduction to interfacing Nim and Python :)

  Thanks dom96!

  Stupid mistakes on my part :-(, using a new editor and didn't have spellcheck turned on.

  Thanks for pointing me to cfloat and cint, I updated the post to point that out.

  Your blog rss link leading to http://akehrer.github.io/rss.xml seems to be a 404.

  Nice, looking like the amateur I am :-)

  Should be fixed now. Appreciate the help.
