That seem to be a lot of duplication to me. I'd rather see the backend be changed so that it could be used with SWIG to generate language bindings. I had WIP in this area, but changes needed are rather intrusive. That said, the testsuite might be interesting, I've been thinking about that for quite some time. - Arnaud > For a much longer introduction including multiple examples, see > arch/kconfig/kconfiglib.py. > > Have fun! > > Signed-off-by: Ulf Magnusson <ulfalizer.lkml@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > Convenience links: > > Documentation, generated from kconfiglib.py with pydoc -w: > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10406197/kconfiglib.html > > Examples as separate files: > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10406197/kconfiglib-examples.tar.gz > > > The patch should be preferably be applied to a recent kernel, i.e. Linus's > (2.6.38-rc3 at the time of writing).
