[C++-sig] Using boost::python in an /clr application

[Luke Titley]

Hey Tom,
I'm having exactly the same problem as you have described in this message.
Were you able to resolve it? If so I would very much like to hear how.
 
Kind Regards,
Luke Titley
 
 
Hi everyone!
 
I'm embedding a python interpreter in an /clr application using visual 
studio 2005. For the most simple example I created a new CLR console 
application using the visual studio project wizard and added a few lines 
of code resulting in the following .cpp file.
 
        // CRLConsoleApp.cpp : main project file.
        #include "stdafx.h"
 
        // include as unmanaged and disable warnings for __fastcall
        #pragma unmanaged
        #pragma warning(disable:4561)
 
        #include <boost/python.hpp>
 
        #pragma warning(default:4561)
        #pragma managed
 
        // just a simple function
        int sampleFunction()
        {
               return 42;
        }
 
        // initialize a sample modul
        void initSampleModul()
        {
               boost::python::def("sampleFunction",sampleFunction);
        }
 
        int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
        {
            return 0;
        }
 
This works perfectly fine, I can compile it, I can link it, I can run 
it, I can use the sample function in a python script running in an 
embedded python interpreter.
 
Exposing a class to python is not working quite as I want it to. I 
change the above .cpp file to include to following lines of code.
 
        // most simple class to expose to python
        class SampleClass {
        };
 
        // initialize the sample modul exposing the sample class
        void initSampleModul()
        {
               boost::python::class_<SampleClass>("SampleClass");
        }
 
 
using the above code gives me two linking errors:
 
error LNK2020: unresolved token (06000007) 
boost.python.handle<_object>::<MarshalCopy>
 
error LNK2020: unresolved token (06000008) 
boost.python.handle<_object>::<MarshalDestroy>
 
The version of boost I'm using here is 1.33.1 which was build using the 
VC_80 tools and I'm using Python version 2.5.
 
The above visual studio project is linked to 
boost_python-vc80-mt-1_33_1.lib and python25.lib
 
I've done the very same thing (linking to the same .lib files using 
mostly the same code except /clr specific parts) in a win32 console 
application and exposing the sample class to python works as expected. I 
can use the class in my embedded python interpreter....  just doing that 
in an CLR application is not working.
 
I'm very thankful for any help I can get!
 
best regards,
Tom
