Introduction

+ +

This page defines two concepts used to describe classes which manage a + Python objects, and which are intended to support usage with a + Python-like syntax.

+ +

Concept Requirements

+ +

ObjectWrapper Concept

+ Models of the ObjectWrapper concept have object as a publicly-accessible base class, + and are used to supply special construction behavior and/or additional + convenient functionality through (often templated) member functions. + Except when the return type R is itself an TypeWrapper, a member function invocation of + the form +
+x.some_function(a1, a2,...an)
+
+ always has semantics equivalent to: +
+extract<R>(x.attr("some_function")(object(a1), object(a2),...object(an)))()
+
+ When the R is an TypeWrapper, the result type may be + constructed by taking direct posession of: +
+x.attr("some_function")(object(a1), object(a2),...object(an)).ptr()
+
+ [see caveat below] + +

TypeWrapper Concept

+ TypeWrapper is a refinement of ObjectWrapper which is associated with a + particular Python type X. For a given TypeWrapper + T, a valid constructor expression +
+T(a1, a2,...an)
+
+ builds a new T object managing the result of invoking + X with arguments corresponding to +
+object(a1), object(a2),...object(an)
+
+ +When used as arguments to wrapped C++ functions, or as the template +parameter to extract<>, only +instances of the associated Python type will be considered a match. + +

Caveat

+ The upshot of the special member function invocation rules when the + return type is a TypeWrapper is that it is possible for the returned + object to manage a Python object of an inappropriate type. This is not + usually a serious problem; the worst-case result is that errors will be + detected at runtime a little later than they might otherwise be. For an + example of how this can occur, note that the dict member function items + returns an object of type list. Now suppose the user defines this + dict subclass in Python: +
+>>> class mydict(dict):
+...     def items(self):
+...         return tuple(dict.items(self)) # return a tuple
+
+ Since an instance of mydict is also an instance of + dict, when used as an argument to a wrapped C++ function, + boost::python::dict can + accept objects of Python type mydict. Invoking + items() on this object can result in an instance of boost::python::list which actually + holds a Python tuple. Subsequent attempts to use list methods (e.g. + append, or any other mutating operation) on this object will + raise the same exception that would occur if you tried to do it from + Python. +

Introduction

+ +

def() is the function which can + be used to expose C++ functions and callable objects as Python functions + in the current scope.

+ +

Functions

+
+template <class F>
+void def(char const* name, F f);
+
+template <class Fn, class A1>
+void def(char const* name, Fn fn, A1 const&);

+
+template <class Fn, class A1, class A2, class A3>
+void def(char const* name, Fn fn, A1 const&, A2 const&, A3 const&);
+
+ +
+
Requires: name is an ntbs which conforms to Python's identifier + naming rules.
+ +
+
    +
  • + If a1 is the result of an overload-dispatch-expression, + only the second form is allowed and fn must be a pointer to + function or pointer to member function whose arity is the same as A1's maximum + arity. + +
    +
    Effects: For each prefix P of + Fn's sequence of argument types, beginning with + the one whose length is A1's minimum + arity, adds a + name(...) function overload + to the current scope. Each overload + generated invokes a1's call-expression with + P, using a copy of a1's call policies. If the longest valid + prefix of A1 contains N types and + a1 holds M keywords, an initial sequence + of the keywords are used for all but the first + N - M arguments of each + overload.
    +
    +
    +
    • + +
  • + Otherwise, a single function overload built around fn (which must + not be null) is added to the current + scope: + +
      +
    • If fn is a function or member function pointer, + a1-a3 (if supplied) may be selected + in any order from the table below.
      • + +
    • Otherwise, Fn must be [derived from] object, and + a1-a2 (if supplied) may be selcted in any order + from the first two rows of the table below. To be useful, + fn should be + callable.

Introduction

+ +

As described here, it + is important to make sure that exceptions thrown by C++ code do not pass + into the Python interpreter core. By default, Boost.Python translates all + C++ exceptions thrown by wrapped functions and module init functions into + Python, but the default translators are extremely limited: most C++ + exceptions will appear in Python as a RuntimeError + exception whose representation is + 'Unidentifiable C++ Exception'. To produce better + error messages, users can register additional exception translators as + described below.

+ +

Functions

+ +

register_exception_translator

+ +
+template<class ExceptionType, class Translate>
+void register_exception_translator(Translate const& translate);
+
+ +
+
Requires:
+ +
+ Translate is Copyconstructible, and + the following code must be well-formed: +
+void f(ExceptionType x) { translate(x); }
+
+ The expression translate(x) must either throw a C++ + exception, or a subsequent call to PyErr_Occurred() + must return 1. +
+ +

+ +

Effects: Adds a copy of translate to the sequence of + exception translators tried when Boost.Python catches an exception that + is about to pass into Python's core interpreter. The new translator + will get "first shot" at translating all exceptions matching the catch + clause shown above. Any subsequently-registered translators will be + allowed to translate the exception earlier. A translator which cannot + translate a given C++ exception can re-throw it, and it will be handled + by a translator which was registered earlier (or by the default + translator).
+
+ +

Example

+
+#include <boost/python/module.hpp>
+#include <boost/python/def.hpp>
+#include <boost/python/exception_translator.hpp>
+#include <exception>
+
+struct my_exception : std::exception
+{
+  char const* what() throw() { return "One of my exceptions"; }
+};
+
+void translate(my_exception const& e)
+{
+    // Use the Python 'C' API to set up an exception object
+    PyErr_SetString(PyExc_RuntimeError, e.what());

Introduction

+ +

Exposes a mechanism for extracting C++ object values from + generalized Python objects. Note that + extract<...> can also be used to + "downcast" an object to some specific ObjectWrapper. Because + invoking a mutable python type with an argument of the same type + (e.g. list([1,2]) typically makes a copy of + the argument object, this may be the only way to access the ObjectWrapper's + interface on the original object. + +

Classes

+ +

Class template extract

+ +

extract<T> can be used to extract a value of + an arbitrary C++ type from an instance of object. Two usages are supported: +

    +
  1. extract<T>(o) is a temporary object +which is implicitly convertible to T (explicit conversion +is also available through the object's function-call +operator). However, if no conversion is available which can convert +o to an object of type T, a Python +TypeError exception will be raised. + +
  2. extract<T> x(o); constructs an extractor +whose check() member function can be used to ask whether +a conversion is available without causing an exception to be thrown. +
+ +

Class template extract + synopsis

+
+namespace boost { namespace python
+{
+  template <class T>
+  struct extract
+  {
+      typedef unspecified result_type;
+
+      extract(PyObject*);
+      extract(object const&);
+
+      result_type operator()() const;
+      operator result_type() const;
+
+      bool check() const;
+  };
+}}
+
+ +

Class extract + constructors and destructor

+
+extract(PyObject* p);
+extract(object const&);
+
+ +
+
Requires: The first form requires that p is non-null.
+ +
Effects:Stores a pointer to the Python object managed + by its constructor argument. In particular, the reference + count of the object is not incremented. The onus is on the user + to be sure it is not destroyed before the extractor's conversion + function is called.
+
+ +

Class extract + observer functions

+
+result_type operator()() const;
+operator result_type() const;
+
+ +
+
Effects: Converts the stored pointer to + result_type, which is either T or + T const&. +
+ +
Returns: An object of result_type + corresponding to the one referenced by the stored pointer.
+ +
Throws: error_already_set + and sets a TypeError if no such conversion is + available. May also emit other unspecified exceptions thrown by + the converter which is actually used.
+
+ +
+bool check() const;
+
+ +
+ +
Postconditions: None. In particular, note that a + return value of true does not preclude an exception + being thrown from operator result_type() or + operator()().
+ +
Returns: false only if no conversion from the + stored pointer to T is available.
+ +
+ + +

Examples

+ +
+#include <cstdio>
+using namespace boost::python;
+int Print(str s)
+{ 
+   // extract a C string from the Python string object
+   char const* c_str = extract<char const*>(s);
+
+   // Print it using printf
+   std::printf("%s\n", c_str);
+
+   // Get the Python string's length and convert it to an int
+   return extract<int>(s.attr("__len__")())
+}
+
+ +The following example shows how extract can be used along with +class_<...> +to create and access an instance of a wrapped C++ class. + +
+struct X
+{
+   X(int x) : v(x) {}
+   int value() { return v; }
+ private:
+   int v;
+};
+
+BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(extract_ext)
+{
+    object x_class(
+       class_<X>("X", init<int>())
+          .def("value", &X::value))
+          ;
+        
+    // Instantiate an X object through the Python interface. 
+    // Its lifetime is now managed by x_obj.
+    object x_obj = x_class(3);
+
+    // Get a reference to the C++ object out of the Python object
+    X const& x = extract<X&>(x_obj);
+    assert(x.value() == 3);
+}

Introduction

+ +

<boost/python/init.hpp> defines the interface for + exposing C++ constructors to Python as extension class + __init__ functions.

+ +

init-expressions

+ An init-expression is used to describe a family of + __init__ methods to be generated for an extension class, and + the result has the following properties: + +
+
+
docstring: An ntbs + whose value will bound to the method's __doc__ + attribute
+ +
keywords: A keyword-expression which will be + used to name (a trailing subsequence of) the arguments to the + generated __init__ function(s).
+ +
call policies: An instance of a model of CallPolicies.
+ +
argument types: An MPL sequence of C++ argument types + which will be used to construct the wrapped C++ object. An init + expression has one or more + valid prefixes which are given by a sequence of + prefixes of its argument types.
+
+
+ +

Classes

+ +

Class template init<T1 = + unspecified, T2 = + unspecified,...Tn = + unspecified>

+ +

A MPL sequence which + can be used to specify a family of one or more __init__ + functions. Only the last Ti supplied + may be an instantiation of optional<...>.

+ +

Class template init + synopsis

+
+namespace boost { namespace python
+{
+  template <T1 = unspecified,...Tn = unspecified>
+  struct init
+  {
+      init(char const* doc = 0);
+      template <class Keywords> init(Keywords const& kw, char const* doc = 0);
+      template <class Keywords> init(char const* doc, Keywords const& kw);
+
+      template <class CallPolicies>
+      unspecified operator[](CallPolicies const& policies) const
+  };
+}}
+
+ +

Class template init + constructors

+
+init(char const* doc = 0);
+template <class Keywords> init(Keywords const& kw, char const* doc = 0);
+template <class Keywords> init(char const* doc, Keywords const& kw);
+
+ +
+
Requires: If supplied, doc is an ntbs. If supplied, kw is the + result of a
+ +
Effects: The result is an init-expression whose + docstring is doc and whose keywords are + a reference to kw. If the first form is used, the + resulting expression's keywords are empty. The expression's + call policies are an instance of default_call_policies. + If Tn is optional<U1, U2,... + Um>, the + expression's valid prefixes are given by:
+ +
+
+ (T1, T2,...Tn-1), + (T1, T2,...Tn-1 + , U1), + (T1, T2,...Tn-1 + , U1, U2), + ...(T1, T2,...Tn-1 + , U1, U2,...Um). +
+ Otherwise, the expression has one valid prefix given by the + the template arguments the user specified. +
+
+ +

Class template init + observer functions

+
+template <class Policies>
+unspecified operator[](Policies const& policies) const
+
+ +
+
Requires: Policies is a model of CallPolicies.
+ +
Effects: Returns a new init-expression with all the same + properties as the init object except that its call + policies are replaced by a reference to + policies.
+
+ +

Class template optional<T1 + = unspecified, T2 = + unspecified,...Tn = + unspecified>

+ +

A MPL sequence which + can be used to specify the optional arguments to an __init__ + function.

+ +

Class template + optional synopsis

+
+namespace boost { namespace python
+{
+  template <T1 = unspecified,...Tn = unspecified>
+  struct optional {};
+}}
+
+ +

Example(s)

+ +

Given the C++ declarations:

+
+class Y;
+class X
+{
+ public:
+   X(int x, Y* y) : m_y(y) {}
+   X(double);
+ private:
+   Y* m_y;
+};
+
+ A corresponding Boost.Python extension class can be created with: +
+using namespace boost::python;
+
+class_<X>("X", "This is X's docstring.",
+          init<int,char const*>(args("x","y"), "X.__init__'s docstring")[
+                with_custodian_and_ward<1,3>()]
+          )
+   .def(init<double>())
+   ;

Introduction

+ +

Exposes a TypeWrapper for the Python + array + type.

+ +

Classes

+ +

Class array

+ +

Provides access to the array types of Numerical Python's Numeric and NumArray modules. With + the exception of the functions documented below, the semantics of the constructors and + member functions defined below can be fully understood by reading the TypeWrapper concept + definition. Since array is publicly derived from object, the public object + interface applies to array instances as well.

+ +

The default behavior is to use + Numeric.ArrayType as the associated Python type if the + Numeric module is installed in the default location. + Otherwise it falls back to use numarray.NDArray. If neither + extension module is installed, conversions to arguments of type + numeric::array will cause overload resolution to reject the + overload, and other attempted uses of numeric::array will raise an appropriate Python exception. + The associated Python type can be set manually using the set_module_and_type(...) static + function.

+ +

+
+ These functions map to the underlying array type's array() + function family. They are not called "array" because of the + C++ limitation that you can't define a member function with the same name + as its enclosing class. +
+template <class Type>

+
+ This function maps to the underlying array type's new() + function. It is not called "new" because that is a keyword + in C++. + +

Class array static + functions

+
+static void set_module_and_type(char const* package_path, char const* type_name);
+static void set_module_and_type();
+
+ +
+
Requires: package_path and + type_name, if supplied, is an ntbs.
+ +
Effects: The first form sets the package path of the module + which supplies the type named by type_name to + package_path. The second form restores the default search behavior. The associated Python + type will be searched for only the first time it is needed, and + thereafter the first time it is needed after an invocation of + set_module_and_type.
+
+ +

Example

+
+#include <boost/python/numeric.hpp>
+#include <boost/python/tuple.hpp>
+
+// sets the first element in a 2d numeric array
+void set_first_element(numeric::array& y, double value)
+{
+    y[make_tuple(0,0)] = value;

Introduction

+ +

Exposes the generic Python object wrapper class object, + and related classes. In order to avoid some potenential problems with + argument-dependent lookup and the generalized operators defined on + object, all these facilities are defined in + namespace boost::python::api, and object + is imported into namespace boost::python with a + using-declaration.

+ +

Types

+ +

+
+enum slice_nil { _ };
+
+ A type that can be used to get the effect of leaving out an index in a + Python slice expression: +
+>>> x[:-1]
+
+ C++ equivalent: +
+x.slice(_,-1)

Class template + object_operators<U>

+ +

This is the base class of object and its + proxy template used to supply common interface: member + functions, and operators which must be defined within the class body. Its + template parameter U is expected to be a class derived from + object_operators<U>. In practice users should never + use this class directly, but it is documented here because it supplies + important interface to object and its proxies.

Class object

+ +

Introduction

+ +

Defines facilities for generating families of overloaded Python + functions and extension class methods from C++ functions and + member functions with default arguments, or from similar families + of C++ overloads

+ +

overload-dispatch-expressions

+ +

+ An overload-dispatch-expression is used to describe a + family of overloaded methods to be generated for an extension + class. It has the following properties: + +

+
+
docstring: An ntbs + whose value will bound to the methods' __doc__ + attribute
+ +
keywords: A keyword-expression which + will be used to name (a trailing subsequence of) the arguments + to the generated methods.
+ +
call policies: An instance of some type which models CallPolicies.
+ +
minimum arity + The minimum number of arguments to be accepted by a generated + method overload.
+ +
maximum arity + The maximum number of arguments to be accepted by a generated + method overload.
+
+
+ +

OverloadDispatcher Concept

+ + An OverloadDispatcher X is a class which has a + minimum arity and a maximum arity, and for which + the following following are valid overload-dispatch-expressions, + with the same minimum and maximum arity as the OverloadDispatcher. + +
+X()
+X(docstring)
+X(docstring, keywords)
+X(keywords, docstring)
+X()[policies]
+X(docstring)[policies]
+X(docstring, keywords)[policies]
+X(keywords, docstring)[policies]
+
+ + + + + + +

Macros

+ +

BOOST_PYTHON_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS(name, func_id, min_args, max_args)

+ Expands to the definition of an OverloadDispatcher called + name in the current scope which can be used to + generate the following function invocation: +
+func_id(a1, a2,...ai);
+
+ + for all min_args <= i <= max_args. + +

BOOST_PYTHON_MEMBER_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS(name, member_name, min_args, max_args)

+ + Expands to the definition of an OverloadDispatcher called + name in the current scope which can be used to + generate the following function invocation: +
+x.member_name(a1, a2,...ai);
+
+ + for all min_args <= i <= + max_args, where x is a reference to an + object of class type. + +

Introduction

Classes

+ +

Class Template pointee<class T>

+ +

pointee<T> is used by the class_<...> + template to deduce the type being held when a pointer or smart + pointer type is used as its HeldType argument. + +

+
+namespace boost { namespace python
+{
+   template <class T> struct pointee

Introduction

+ +

Defines facilities for querying and controlling the Python scope + (namespace) which will contain new wrapped classes and functions.

+ +

Classes

+ +

Class scope

+ +

The scope class has an associated global Python object + which controls the Python namespace in which new extension classes and + wrapped functions will be defined as attributes. Default-constructing a + new scope object binds that object to the associated Python + object. Constructing a is associated with , and

+ +

Class scope + synopsis

+
+namespace boost { namespace python
+{
+  class scope : public object, private noncopyable
+  {
+   public:
+      scope(object const&);
+      scope();
+      ~scope()
+  };
+}}
+
+ +

Class scope constructors + and destructor

+
+scope(object const& x);
+
+ Stores a reference to the current associated scope object, and sets the + associated scope object to the one referred to by x.ptr(). + The object base class is initialized with x. +
+scope();
+
+ Stores a reference to the current associated scope object. The + object base class is initialized with the current associated + scope object. Outside any module initialization function, the current + associated Python object is None. +
+~scope()
+
+ Sets the current associated Python object to the stored object. + +

Example

+ The following example shows how scope setting can be used to define + nested classes. + +

C++ Module definition:

+
+#include <boost/python/class.hpp>
+#include <boost/python/scope.hpp>
+using namespace boost::python;
+
+struct X
+{
+  void f();
+
+  struct Y { int g() { return 0; } };
+};

+{
+   scope outer
+       = class_<X>("X")
+            .def("f", &X::f)
+            ;
+   class_<Y>("Y")
+      .def("g", &Y::g)
+      ;
+}
+

+>>> import nested
+>>> y = nested.X.Y()

Introduction

+ +

Exposes a TypeWrapper for the Python + + tuple type.

+ +

Classes

+ +

Class tuple

+ +

Exposes the interface of Python's built-in tuple type. + The semantics of the constructors and member functions defined below can + be fully understood by reading the TypeWrapper concept + definition. Since tuple is publicly derived from object, the public object + interface applies to tuple instances as well.

+ +

Class tuple + synopsis

+
+namespace boost { namespace python
+{
+   class tuple : public object
+   {
+      // tuple() -> an empty tuple
+      tuple();
+
+      // tuple(sequence) -> tuple initialized from sequence's items
+      template <class T>
+      explicit tuple(T const& sequence)
+  };
+}}
+
+ +

Functions

+ +

make_tuple

+
+namespace boost { namespace python
+{
+  tuple make_tuple();
+
+  template <class A0>
+  tuple make_tuple(A0 const& a0);
+
+  template <class A0, class A1>
+  tuple make_tuple(A0 const& a0, A1 const& a1);
+  ...
+  template <class A0, class A1,...class An> 
+  tuple make_tuple(A0 const& a0, A1 const& a1,...An const& an);
+}}
+
+ Constructs a new tuple object composed of object(a0), + object(a0),...object(an). + +

Example

+
+using namespace boost::python;
+tuple head_and_tail(object sequence)
+{
+    return make_tuple(sequence[0],sequence[-1]);
+}
