Python Travels
As I meander down the boost Python road I’m currently travelling on, I’ve found it useful to refer to a Python Quick Reference for the special methods of classes. Operator overloading is also covered here from a boost perspective. One thing is clear, boost Python has appalling documentation.
One issue I had early on with boost Python is if I want to expose a C++ class via an interface? What C++ code should I write for the init def method in the class_ declaration given that IVolSurface is abstract and the concrete class is VolSurface?
python::class_<eq::IVolSurface>(“VolSurface”) .def(init<…>… ;
Why did you go the boost Python route in the first place?
We needed cross platform scripting, and some of the traders already used Python
