Hello. I'm working on a module that exposes xmms_remote_* to Python. It's mostly done and in pypi but I would like help(xmms) to be more informative. What's the best way to change jump_to_time(...) Seek to a number of milliseconds past the beginning of the current file. to jump_to_time(t) Seek ... file. ? Thanks, Daniel Holth http://dingoskidneys.com

Whoops, sorry. Second try: I'm working on a Python extension that controls xmms. It's written in pure C++ and boost::python. This is an excerpt from 'pydoc xmms': Python Library Documentation: module xmms NAME xmms ... | get_playlist_file(...) | Return the filename of a playlist item. | | get_playlist_time(...) | Return length (milliseconds) of a playlist item | | get_playlist_title(...) | Return the title of a playlist item. ... This is an excerpt from 'pydoc urllib': | get_user_passwd(self, host, realm, clear_cache=0) | | http_error_301(self, url, fp, errcode, errmsg, headers, data=None) | Error 301 -- also relocated (permanently). Notice how the Python module (urllib) has its argument list in the pydoc documentation like so: get_user_passwd(self, host, realm, clear_cache=0), while the boost::python module (or __builtins__, for that matter) is presented as functionname(...). My question: Is there an argument to .def() that will tell pydoc what to put in place of the ... in e.g. get_playlist_file(...). The alternative, taken by __builtins__, is to phrase the docstring as methodcall(example) -> result Second Question --------------- I'm also writing an xmms plugin, under the latest Debian Linux, i386, that runs Python code but I get errors about internal Python symbols not being found when I try to import other Python modules (like time). Can someone point me to an existing project that includes a dynamically loaded Python embedding? Thanks, Daniel Holth http://dingoskidneys.com

Well, Python has a lot more to go on when introspecting about a pure Python function than about a callable "extension function" object.
My question: Is there an argument to .def() that will tell pydoc what to put in place of the ... in e.g. get_playlist_file(...).
Well, http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/args.html ought to work, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't. If you can tell us what information pydoc uses to format that info we might be able to help. [Nicodemus, I think pyste should take an option to generate "args(...)" for those people who want to use keywords in their function calls]

I don't know what you mean by "a dynamically loaded Python embedding?", but this sounds like a question for comp.lang.python to me anyway. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
