[Dune-devel] [GSoC 2016]

[Andreas Dedner]

Hi Govind,
Welcome to Dune to thanks for your interest in our GSoC projects.

To answer your question w.r.t. boost::python and Cython. I would think that the first step would be to
evaluate the work done within the bem++ project which is based on cython.  For dune-fem we are providing bindings for
quite high level features of our packages while the bindings in bem++ export a big part of the grid interface. So the existing
cython bindings are much more low level then what we are currently working on for dune-fem and would complement what we are doing and also be potentially of great interest to the whole dune community.

We will add a junior job to the list over the weekend which is more focused towards the dune-python project. Until then
checking out bempp and dune and seeing how the cython bindings work and can be accessed within python would be a great starting point.

Best
Andreas
