\brief C++ facilities to make it easier to write Python extensions
|
|
|
|
CXX/Objects 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.
|
|
CXX/Objects 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.

PyCXX documentation is split into <a

|
|
<A HREF="http://cxx.sourceforge.net/PyCXX-Python2.html">Python 2</A>
|
|
versions. The Python 3 documentation is the most accurate.
