[sword-devel] Python and swig

[Ben Morgan]

Hi.

Glad you got it to build.

Examples:
For example, to output the text of a verse from the ESV

>>> import Sword
>>> markup=Sword.MarkupFilterMgr(Sword.FMT_HTMLHREF) #Html markup
>>> markup.thisown=False #Tell SWIG not to bother cleaning this up
>>> mgr=Sword.SWMgr(markup) #new mgr
>>> mod=mgr.getModule("ESV")  #get esv
>>> vk=Sword.VerseKey("Matthew 1:1")
>>> mod.setKey(vk) #set key for mod
'\x00'
>>> mod.RenderText() #render the text
'<a href="passagestudy.jsp
?action=showNote&type=x&value=1&module=ESV&passage=Mat
thew+1%3A1"><small><sup>*x</sup></small></a> The book of the genealogy of
Jesus
Christ, <a href="passagestudy.jsp
?action=showNote&type=x&value=2&module=ESV&pass
age=Matthew+1%3A1"><small><sup>*x</sup></small></a> the son of David, <a
href="p
assagestudy.jsp
?action=showNote&type=x&value=3&module=ESV&passage=Matthew+1%3A1"
><small><sup>*x</sup></small></a> the son of Abraham.'

To output, for all modules installed, their names and types:
>>> import Sword
>>> mgr=Sword.SWMgr()
>>> for mod in mgr.getModules().values(): #mgr.getModules is a map, keys are
type SWBuf, values are SWModules
...     print mod.Name() + " is a '" + mod.Type()+"'" #name of mod and type
ESV is a 'Biblical Texts'
MHC is a 'Commentaries'
etc.

For longer examples, look at my Gospel Harmony Viewer. The files
BibleInterface.py, Book.py and Dictionary.py are from a larger project I am
doing, and have much more than the gospel harmony viewer needs. This code
isn't well commented, I'm afraid, nor pythonic.

If you have any specific questions on how to do something, just email me.

God Bless,
Ben
