You can import python modules in C++ using the import function. See here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/python/doc/v2/import.html
You can also make your C++ extension classes 'pickleable' using boost python's pickle suite: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/python/doc/v2/pickle.html Bill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Simon Pickles Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 2009 4:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [C++-sig] Extended python system needs access to cPickle in c++ Hi, I have an app with a python core, then c++ extension modules. I'd like to be able to use cPickle to pack structures, especially boost::python::tuples, in c++. Is there a way I can expose a python module in the c++ extensions? I thought about passing a module as an arg to a c++ function, as a boost::python::object: // cModule void DoStuff(object pickleModule) { tuple t = make_tuple("Spam",42); object pickleDumps = pickleModule.attr("dumps"); object s = pickleDumps(t); // Send s to other process } # python import cModule import cPickle cModule.DoStuff(cPickle) # Am I barking up the wrong tree?
