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;
