[Quantlib-dev] print vs assign output in QuantLib-SWIG

[Tawanda G. <tg...@gm...>]

I am working on quantlib-swig and porting it to Lua. 

I have been working with the interest rate curves. They mostly work except at the output stage. I successfully created the PiecewiseFlatForward object "ff". When I issue the command 

      print(ff:zeroRate(zDate,daycount,Annual)

I get the output

    0.443772 % Actual/360 Annual compounding

Unfortunately I get the same string when I assign, which is generally not easy to work with. 


I would like to know how the other languages deal with it (Python for instance) and pointers to where I may be able to fix it.

Thanks
