Wrapper outcome

• To be discussed - PREFERRED:  OUT arguments - wrapper will update fields of <ActorName>Arguments class
• Returned values - packed within a class:
  • autogenerated
  • a part of wrapper package

Open points

1. Programming conventions (PEP 8?)
   1. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
2. Incompatibility with existing Python actors!
3. Only IN and OUT arguments (no INOUT arguments)
4. Arrays as an inout of user method- only "dynamic" - i.e. of variable size 
5. Wrapper results:
   1. OUT arguments - wrapper will update fields of <ActorName>Arguments classReturned
   2. values - packed within a classINCOMPATIBILITY 
6. Diagnostic info 
   1. Info returned from user method
      1. status flag
      2. user defined message
   2. 'Q: can it be mandatory in user sbrt?
7.  Sandbox:
   1. Do we need this feature?
8. Alternative library:
   1. Do we need this feature?
