PyBindGen is (surprise!) a python bindings generator. The main features are: * Is written in clean, PEP 8 compliant, and pylint checked, Python code; * Generates clean C or C++ code, nearly as readable as code written manually by a developer; * Generated code does not require any external libraries or macros; * Does not require Boost.Python (no C++ template magic, also works in C); * The main interface for code generation is a simple Python API, not some obscure interface definition language. Other frontends, such as parsing header files with gccxml, could be added in the future as an additional layer; * Can be easily extended with new type handlers; * Type handlers can allocate memory and register cleanup code to free; * Supports in, out, and inout parameters (e.g. with pointers or C++ references); * Supports multiple return values (e.g. due to out/inout parameters); * Supports wrapping of simple C++ classes; * Supports virtual methods in classes; * Supports reference counted classes and smart pointers; Planned: * Callbacks; * Nicer C++ Enumerations;
