<p>
The interface files are the heart of Pyste. The user creates one or more
interface files declaring the classes and functions he wants to export, and then
invokes Pyste passing the interface files to it. Pyste then generates a single
cpp file with <a href="../../index.html">
Boost.Python</a> code, with all the classes and functions exported.</p>
<p>
Besides declaring the classes and functions, the user has a number of other
options, like renaming e excluding classes and member functionis. Those are
explained later on.</p>
<a name="basics"></a><h2>Basics</h2><p>
Suppose we have a class and some functions that we want to expose to Python
declared in the header <tt>hello.h</tt>:</p>
<code><pre>
<span class=keyword>struct </span><span class=identifier>World
</span><span class=special>{
</span><span class=identifier>World</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string </span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>): </span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>) {}
</span><span class=keyword>void </span><span class=identifier>set</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string </span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>) { </span><span class=keyword>this</span><span class=special>-&gt;</span><span class=identifier>msg </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>; }
</span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string </span><span class=identifier>greet</span><span class=special>() { </span><span class=keyword>return </span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>; }
</span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string </span><span class=identifier>msg</span><span class=special>;
};
</span><span class=keyword>enum </span><span class=identifier>choice </span><span class=special>{ </span><span class=identifier>red</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=identifier>blue </span><span class=special>};
</span><span class=keyword>namespace </span><span class=identifier>test </span><span class=special>{
</span><span class=keyword>void </span><span class=identifier>show</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>choice </span><span class=identifier>c</span><span class=special>) { </span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>cout </span><span class=special>&lt;&lt; </span><span class=string>&quot;value: &quot; </span><span class=special>&lt;&lt; (</span><span class=keyword>int</span><span class=special>)</span><span class=identifier>c </span><span class=special>&lt;&lt; </span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>endl</span><span class=special>; }
}
</span></pre></code>
<p>
We create a file named <tt>hello.pyste</tt> and create instances of the classes
<tt>Function</tt>, <tt>Class</tt> and <tt>Enum</tt>:</p>
<code><pre>
<span class=identifier>Function</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;test::show&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;hello.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
</span><span class=identifier>Class</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;World&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;hello.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
</span><span class=identifier>Enum</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;choice&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=string>&quot;hello.h&quot;</span><span class=special>)
</span></pre></code>
<p>
That will expose the class, the free function and the enum found in <tt>hello.h</tt>. </p>
