PyBindGen is a Python module that is geared to generating C/C++ code that binds a C/C++ library for Python. It does so without extensive use of either C++ templates or C pre-processor macros. It has modular handling of C/C++ types, and can be easily extended with Python plugins. The generated code is almost as clean as what a human programmer would write. It can be downloaded from: http://code.google.com/p/pybindgen/ Bug reports should be filed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pybindgen Special thanks to Roman Yakovenko (lots of help with pygccxml) and Mathieu Lacage (API suggestions, documentation writing). === pybindgen 0.9 === - Fix GCC 4.2 compilation warnings; - Works with some GCCXML 0.9/cvs snapshots (tested with 2008-04-20), in addition to stable 0.7; - Support for overloaded virtual methods; - Add 'ignore' annotation support, allowing to ignore functions and methods; - Generally work hard to make sure the generated code at least always compiles, even if we have to disable generation of certain wrappers; - Add support for protected methods and constructors; - Preliminary support for templated classes/methods/functions; - Add more type conversions, such as uint64_t and uint16_t; - Support implicit conversions also for pass-by-reference parameters; - Add supported for nested (i.e. defined inside a class) enums and classes; - Add support for adding manually written custom method or function wrappers; - Split the gccxmlparser.ModuleParser.parse() method into several smaller methods, to allow greater customization and flexibility; - Add support for customising C++ class instance creation code; - Much improved support for wrapping pure C code; - Support std::ostream << myobject mapped as str(myobject) (Mathieu Lacage) - Support default values in parameters; - More intuitive API (thanks Mathieu Lacage for feedback) - Support generation of a Python pybindgen script from scanned API; - Support splitting of generated python script and/or C/C++ module into several files; - Lots of small bug fixes, and other features I probably forgot; - New tutorial (thanks Mathieu Lacage), and API docs. -- Gustavo J.
