<p>
Data members may also be exposed to Python so that they can be
accessed as attributes of the corresponding Python class. Each data
member that we wish to be exposed may be regarded as <b>read-only</b> or
<b>read-write</b>. Consider this class <tt>Var</tt>:</p>
<code><pre>
<span class=keyword>struct </span><span class=identifier>Var
</span><span class=special>{
</span><span class=identifier>Var</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string </span><span class=identifier>name</span><span class=special>) : </span><span class=identifier>name</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=identifier>name</span><span class=special>), </span><span class=identifier>value</span><span class=special>() {}
</span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string </span><span class=keyword>const </span><span class=identifier>name</span><span class=special>;
</span><span class=keyword>float </span><span class=identifier>value</span><span class=special>;
};
</span></pre></code>
<p>
Our C++ <tt>Var</tt> class and its data members can be exposed to Python:</p>
<code><pre>
<span class=identifier>class_</span><span class=special>&lt;</span><span class=identifier>Var</span><span class=special>&gt;(</span><span class=string>&quot;Var&quot;</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=identifier>init</span><span class=special>&lt;</span><span class=identifier>std</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>string</span><span class=special>&gt;())
.</span><span class=identifier>def_readonly</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;name&quot;</span><span class=special>, &amp;</span><span class=identifier>Var</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>name</span><span class=special>)
.</span><span class=identifier>def_readwrite</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=string>&quot;value&quot;</span><span class=special>, &amp;</span><span class=identifier>Var</span><span class=special>::</span><span class=identifier>value</span><span class=special>);
</span></pre></code>
<p>
Then, in Python, assuming we have placed our Var class inside the namespace
hello as we did before:</p>
<code><pre>
<span class=special>&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class=identifier>x </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=identifier>hello</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>Var</span><span class=special>(</span><span class=literal>'pi'</span><span class=special>)
&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class=identifier>x</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>value </span><span class=special>= </span><span class=number>3.14
</span><span class=special>&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class=identifier>print </span><span class=identifier>x</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>name</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=literal>'is around'</span><span class=special>, </span><span class=identifier>x</span><span class=special>.</span><span class=identifier>value
</span><span class=identifier>pi </span><span class=identifier>is </span><span class=identifier>around </span><span class=number>3.14
</span></pre></code>
<p>
Note that <tt>name</tt> is exposed as <b>read-only</b> while <tt>value</tt> is exposed
as <b>read-write</b>.</p>
<code><pre>
&gt;&gt;&gt; x.name = 'e' # can't change name
Traceback (most recent call last):
File &quot;&lt;stdin&gt;&quot;, line 1, in ?
AttributeError: can't set attribute
