This has the minimal capability of allowing specification of the +input parameters (i.e. the input file) in python, passing that into BoxLib and then running the time steps. + +Building it requires several steps (which will be cleaned up in the future). Go into the new Python directory and run make to build +libwarpx.so. Then run "python setup.py install", which builds the wrapper and installs it. For this, you will need to have +swig installed. (In the future, the swig generated wrapper could be put into the repo so swig wouldn't be needed.) + +There is a new input file input.py in tests/Langmuir which can run it. You will need to set either DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (on mac) or +LD_LIBRARY_PATH (on linux) to the path where the libwarpx.so (i.e. ../../warpx/Python). (This also will be fixed in the future.) + |
