[pypy-dev] Boost.Python and PyPy -- status?

[Ryan Gonzalez]

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://lynxline.com/superhybrids-part-2-now-qt-pyside/
http://qt-project.org/wiki/PySide_Binding_Generation_Tutorial
http://qt-project.org/wiki/PySide_Shiboken_Tutorial - Short but a tad
helpful

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!

The best(and largest) example of all: PySide itself.

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