[C++-sig] Conversion of python files to C++ ostreams

[Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve]

This is used in production code:

http://cctbx.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cctbx/trunk/boost_adaptbx/python_streambuf.h?view=markup

See also:

http://cctbx.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cctbx/trunk/boost_adaptbx/tests/

python_streambuf_test_ext.cpp
tst_python_streambuf.py

tst_stderr_stdout.py
tst_stdin.py
tst_stdout.py

The easiest way to get everything is to download from

http://cci.lbl.gov/boostbx_bundles/current/

and run e.g.

perl boostbx_bundle.selfx

Ideally this would be part of Boost.Python proper, as built-in converters for std::istream and std::ostream, but this would require a volunteer.
