Sample combination of Veins and Python

• Veins 5.2 (see http://veins.car2x.org/)
• OMNeT++ 6.0.1 (see https://omnetpp.org/)
• Python 3.11.2 (see https://www.python.org/)

• Windows 10
• Debian 12
• macOS 10.15

First, make sure that you are using compatible program versions (see above) on a compatible platform (see above).

Make sure that Veins is set up and working from the command line by opening an OMNeT++ shell, navigating to the Veins directory, and executing ./configure followed by make. Change to the examples/veins subdirectory and run ./run to confirm Veins is working. Use the same command line window for entering any of the following commands.

In the command line window, change to the veins_python directory.

Configure the build system by running (assuming you built Veins in ../veins)

./configure --with-veins=../veins

• If you receive errors about Python.h not being found, make sure that you have installed Python along with its headers (e.g., on Debian Linux you might need to install libpython3.11-dev or similar)
• The configure script adopts settings from the Python interpreter it is running under. If you want to use a different Python interpreter, execute the script as, e.g., python3.11 ./configure.

Build veins_python by running

make

Try out veins_python by running

cd examples/veins_python
./run -u Cmdenv

You should see the following output (amidst other OMNeT++ output):

[INFO] General:0@t=1 Scenario.manager(veins_python/ApplicationLayerTest.cc:48): Veins2py testfun returning 42
Veins2py testfun returned 42
[INFO] General:0@t=1 Scenario.manager(veins_python/ApplicationLayerTest.cc:148): Py2veins funtest returned 24
