PyCXX is a set of C++ facilities to make it easier to write Python
|
|
extensions. The chief way in which PyCXX makes it easier to write Python
|
|
extensions is that it greatly increases the probability that your program
|
|
will not make a reference-counting error and will not have to continually
|
|
check error returns from the Python C API.
|
|
|
|
PyCXX integrates Python with C++ in these ways:
|
|
- C++ exception handling is relied on to detect errors and clean up. In
|
|
a complicated function this is often a tremendous problem when writing
|
|
in C. With PyCXX, we let the compiler keep track of what objects need
|
|
to be dereferenced when an error occurs.
|
|
- The Standard Template Library (STL) and its many algorithms plug and
|
|
play with Python containers such as lists and tuples.
|
|
- The optional CXX_Extensions facility allows you to replace the clumsy
|
|
C tables with objects and method calls that define your modules and
|
|
extension objects.
