Hello, I am developing a Math application which can be extended by writing python scripts. I am using QT 4.6.3 (build as static library, debug and release versions) and Boost 1.43.0 (build as static library, runtime-link also set to static, multi-threaded version, debug and release). Everything is build with MSVC++2008. The boost build ...
Here is my problem: I have two C++ modules, A and B, which are built as dynamically-linked libraries. A offers basic math functions, and custom exception types. B is a higher level module that uses A. B::someFunction() calls a function from A, and tries to catch custom exception A:MyExceptionFromA in order to convert it into a custom t...
Considering the following archetypal Boost.Python module, which brings a class "D" from a separate C++ header file. /* file: a/b.cpp */ BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(c) { class_<d>("D") } When I compile this to a shared library, I'm confused how I can expose it to Python. What should I call the library? a.so? liba.so? b.so? libb.so? Where...
I have a C++ class that requires a function pointer in it's constructor (float(*myfunction)(vector<float>*)) I've already exposed some function pointers to Python. The ideal way to use this class is something like this: import mymodule mymodule.some_class(mymodule.some_function) So I tell Boost about this class like so: class_<Some...
I'm writing a program in python which should be able to pass "callables" which are registered in a C++ class. So far I've written the following code: C++: class MyClass { ... public: register_callback(boost::function<void (int)> fun); }; Python/C API: class_<MyClass, boost::shared_ptr<MyClass>, boost::noncopyable>("MyClass", no_...
How is Python able to call C++ objects when the interpreter is C and has been built w/ a C compiler? ...
I'm using Boost.Python to expose JRA's BWRepLib so I can try to do some data mining on sc:bw replays in python and I've run into a small problem with the values being returned from the C++ methods. When running any old simple program such as the tutorial I get the expected value returned to python (a "hello, world" string that prints out...
As a general rule, I rue the days whenever I have to build Python libraries on a Mac. I've generally had fairly good success using Boost::Python, and if I use distutils, most of the time everything works correctly. However, I've never been able figure out the exact combination of what works/what doesn't work. Specifically, I've often ru...
I'm using boost::python::extract<> to convert the items in a boost::python::list to floats. My problem is with int's in python - extract<float> seems to regard int->float as a valid conversion, however I only want true float objects. Is there a way to force extract<> to be more conservative? extract<float> value(o); if (value.check()) {...
Hi folks, I'm just trying to compile the "hello world" example of boost.python WITHOUT using all the bjam magic. My boost.python installation is working, I did succesfully build the example with bjam and passed the test suite. Now for my project I need to use all this stuff in a plain Make environment. I don't want to port to another b...
Hi all, I have a function that takes an int-pointer and exposed it via boost::python. How can I call this function from python? in C++ with boost::python: void foo(int* i); ... def("foo", foo); in python: import foo_ext i = 12 foo_ext.foo(i) results in Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> Boos...
Hi, I have a bunch of classes and APIs written in C++ and exposed to Python with help of Boost.Python I am currently investigating the possibilities of creating the following architecture. In python: from boostPythonModule import * AddFunction( boostPythonObject.Method1, args ) AddFunction( boostPythonObject.Method2, args ) AddFuncti...
How can I extend an embedded interpreter with C++ code? I have embedded the interpreter and I can use boost.python to make a loadable module (as in a shared library) but I don't want the library floating around because I want to directly interface with my C++ application. Sorry if my writing is a bit incoherent. ...
I have a module built with Boost.Python and I want to debug it in QtCreator (or perhaps gdb). I prefer a visual environment if possible. ...
I have a simple library written in C++ which I'm creating a Python wrapper for using boost.python. Some functions take a long time to execute (over 30 seconds), and I would like to make it interruptible so that when I hit ctrl-d to trigger KeyboardInterrupt in the python interpreter, I'm somehow able to respond to that in C++. Is there ...
In order to install Python XMP Toolkit, I need to install Exempi on my Mac, but doing this is becoming a real nightmare... After a lot of trouble, i finally made it with boost, and had the fantastic The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built! The following directory should be added to compiler include paths: /usr/loc...
