# Description: C/C++ Library Project help for Googlesque startup company.

We are looking for a temporary/contract developer experienced with 
building custom shared libraries on Linux which can be called via Python 
ctypes FFI (__cdecl). Our project is to wrap an existing static C++ 
library which is currently Python incompatible, with a shared C library 
wrapper that is Python compatible. The project would be two-phased. 
First phase would be a proof-of-concept (POC) phase. In the POC phase, 
only 5-10 functions (and related data structures) would need to be 
wrapped to prove on a small scale that the development effort can 
achieve the full objective. The second phase would be to wrap the entire 
library (quite extensive), adding Python helper functions where 
necessary and tweaking speed/memory issues, should they arise.

# Required Skills:
C, C++
Python w/ ctypes
