Shiboken was written for the official Python Qt bindings(PySide). They actually were originally using Boost::Python, but they switched to Shiboken because the binaries were a lot smaller. Unfortunately, there isn't too much documentation. Here are some links:

http://seanfisk.com/pyside-docs/shiboken/ - The docs for Shiboken itself

http://seanfisk.com/pyside-docs/apiextractor/ - The docs for the typesystem files that describe the bindings to be made

http://qt-project.org/wiki/PySide_Binding_Generation_Tutorial

http://qt-project.org/wiki/PySide_Shiboken_Tutorial - Short but a tad helpful

https://qt.gitorious.org/pyside/shiboken/source/a527dd51e69b80c2d5be3a1d8cd60ab2b2616fa5:tests - The tests. Folders that begin with "lib" are the C++ code that will be bound, the ones ending in "binding" are the actual bindings. Note that one of these is VERY long!

No, I'd not heard of Shiboken, but it does look like an interesting
project. As I wrote in my reply to fijal, I quite like boost::python,
and as that's what my code is written in (and it took a while to write
it!), that's what I'm interested in right now. Nonetheless, I am looking
for alternatives (for a later version), so thanks.

Best,

Toby

When your hammer is C++, everything begins to look like a thumb.
