I'm trying to embed Python in my C++ application, and it looks pretty easy to convert a PyObject* returned from PyRun_String using the 'extract' functionality. How do I go the other way? I.e. I want to set a variable in __main__ to an instance of my C++ class (or pass them as arguments to PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs). With SIP there was a function called sipMapCppToSelf used like this:

void set(const std::string& name, const LegalStatusCode& value) { PyObject* key = PyString_FromString(name.c_str()); PyObject* val = sipMapCppToSelf(&value, sipClass_LegalStatusCode); PyDict_SetItem(mainmodule, key, val); Py_DECREF(key); Py_DECREF(val); }

I've looked through the documentation but haven't found anything obvious...

Let's see. You have a wrapped C++ class somewhere? If so, you can write in __main__: import some_boost_python_module x = some_boost_python_module.some_class(some_arg) But this is trivially explained in the docs, so you must mean something else... -- David Abrahams dave@boost-consulting.com * http://www.boost-consulting.com
