SIP is a tool for generating bindings for C++ classes so that they can be
|
|
accessed as normal Python classes. SIP takes many of its ideas from SWIG but,
|
|
because it is specifically designed for C++ and Python, is able to generate
|
|
tighter bindings. SIP is so called because it is a small SWIG.
|
|
|
|
SIP was originally designed to generate Python bindings for KDE and so has
|
|
explicit support for the signal slot mechanism used by the Qt/KDE class
|
|
libraries. However, SIP can be used to generate Python bindings for any C++
|
|
class library.
|
|
|
|
The bindings generated by SIP support access to the following C++ and Qt
|
|
features:
|
|
- connecting Qt signals to Python functions and class methods
|
|
- connecting Python signals to Qt slots
|
|
- overloading virtual member functions with Python class methods
|
|
- protected member functions
|
|
- abstract classes
|
|
- enumerated types
|
|
- global class instances
|
|
- static member functions.
