Hello there,
I am the author of a Python compiler called Nuitka. Please see my page
for info about it:
http://kayhayen24x7.homelinux.org/blog/nuitka-a-python-compiler/what-is-nuitka/
Now this compiler is very compatible to CPython and so I was surprised
to discover that a simple example of overloading of methods doesn't work
at all:
It's a shame my Python-Qt skills are so low. The example is:
class TestPage(QtWebKit.QWebPage):
def __init__( self ):
QtWebKit.QWebPage.__init__( self )
def userAgentForUrl(self, url):
print "hit", url
# userAgentForUrl = 1
# userAgentForUrl = repr
When this one is used, under CPython it works, when the class is created
by Nuitka with a compiled function "userAgentForUrl", then it works if
it's called by Python code, but not when called from within PyQt.
I dug through it, and this is what I found out:
The class that uses the TestPage instance is a PyQt class as well.
The type(view.__class_) is a "PyQt4.QtCore.pyqtWrapperType" which I
found the implementation for in the python-qt4 source, but it's not
doing too specific things, that's what sip does apparently:
Look at ./qpy/QtCore/qpycore_types.cpp this one is very suspicious:
// Create a dynamic meta-object for a Python type by introspecting its
// attributes. Note that it leaks if the type is deleted.
static int create_dynamic_metaobject(pyqtWrapperType *pyqt_wt)
It does very early on a call to:
PyObject *self = sipWrapperType_Type->tp_call(type, args, kwds);
Looking at the sip source code, I couldn't clearly identifiy the tp_call
implementation, but I saw that it does PyMethod_Check and then
PyFunction_Check, which should be it.
My compiled functions, do not pass that test. Nor do builtin functions,
or even integers. The code in question, then creates a PyMethod_New on
the function or object, emulating the behaviour, of what calling a
tp_descr_get on the object will already do.
The comment in the file says:
/*
* Check any reimplementation is Python code and is not the wrapped
* C++ method.
*/
Well, it doesn't do the positive test, if something is already wrapped,
but instead does a limited known-type check. Can you help and point me
to how to detect the wrapped C++ method instead. I would then change the
logic and call tp_descr_get which will give compiled method objects with
Nuitka.
Thanks in advance,
Kay
