I have the C++ source code for an executable that takes a path to an image file as the input and prints text to STDOUT. I'd like this to be a Python extension instead. From Python, I need to pass the image data to it and then it should return the text. The target system is GNU/Linux. Let me know about your experience and the aproach you'll use here. Boilerplate proposals will be ignored.

Hi there. I've worked on a Python project before that does some image processing (compression, resizing ...). The project description is a little fuzzy. What text you want on the stdout?, and how it relates to the image input?. Please contact me for further info. Cheers.

Hello! I would like to take a look at the source, if possible. Bidding $30 for now, but the price might change depending on the complexity. I have used both cython and swig for similar projects. I will choose the better suited one for this particular code. Ivan

I've been programming in Python for quite a few years and I'm intimately familiar with the language. I've also written several pure Python modules as well as CPython modules (written in C, usable from CPython, the original Python interpreter) for personal use. The approach used on your project would depend on what exactly needs to be done. If you plan on using only the official CPython interpreter, I'd probably compile the existing C++ code as a library and write a CPython C extension which would call the library. If you need full portability between Python interpreters, we'd have to think of other strategies, probably rewriting the existing C++ codebase to Python from scratch (I'm assuming it's not a very complex program). The details are negotiable and I can start today.

I am new to freelancer but not new to this field. So please don't go on my feedback. I have been working in C/C++ and Python for the last 2 years. I have successfully converted codes in one language to other. Recently I cleared an online course of interactive python with distinction. I am sure I will complete this task in just one day. I am claiming this looking at the description you mentioned in project description. I am sure I will be given a fair chance. Just assign this task and think done :)

I have been working in C/C++ from 8+ year. I have also written some python modules in the past(it is not my primary skill though). If you already have C++ code I will be able to convert that to a python module in a couple of days. Detailed description is not provided in the job statement details like how may API do you want? what will the API take input as, you have said that it will be image data but in what form? will it be the path to an image file or buffer containing binary image data. If above things are clarified, I should be able to provide better approximation of time required to do it.
