Documentation useful this week:

Pointers-to-documentation

git tutorial documentation

• Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So
• PyClaw Developer's Documentation
• git community book

cython tutorial documentation

• Cython webpage -- cython is the newest most talked about wrapper, but only works for C/C++ to Python. Its real value is not as a wrapper, but as a Python -> C/C++ code generator. Since this involves wrapping it also serves that purpose well too.
• C++ Cython basics

Other wrapping tools

• ctypes -- ctypes is fragile but a simple standard that doesn't require another dependency from Python.
• SWIG -- SWIG is a huge tool that works (mostly) automatically. Unfortunately it generates code that only a mother could love.
• SIP -- a smaller version of SWIG only targetting C/C++ and Python.
• PyCXX -- never used but recommended to me 2 min before tutorial.
• Boost.Py -- good luck!

MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS

Page files may contain mathematic equations in TeX syntax that will be somewhat reasonably typeset into the expected output using an image renderer.

Block-style example:

\[ P(E) = {n \choose k} p^k (1-p)^{ n-k} \]

Inline example:

The Pythagorean theorem is \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \).
