Hello:

I've been looking around the internet trying to find a good step by step guide to extend Python in Windows, and I haven't been able to find something for my skill level.

let's say you have some c code that looks like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

double valuex(float value, double rate,  double timex)
{
    float value;
double rate, timex;
    return value / double pow ((1 + rate), (timex));
}

and you want to turn that into a Python 3 module for use on a windows (64bit if that makes a difference) system. How would you go about doing that? I've looked up SWIG and Pyrex and in both circumstances they seem geared towards the unix user. With Pyrex I am not sure if it works with Python 3.

I'm just trying to learn the basics of programing, using some practical examples.

Lastly, if there is a good book that someone can recommend for learning to extend, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.
