[PyKDE] SIP vs Boost.Python?

[James Emerton]

Here's the most maintainable way of calling Python from C++.  This
method keeps your C++ out of your Python and your Python out of your
C++.  As a bonus feature, if the Python implementation gets too slow,
you can rewrite in C++ without needing to touch any client code.

//
// iface.h
struct IFoo {
  virtual float wonk(float, float) = 0;
};

//
// iface.sip
%Module foo
class IFoo {
%TypeHeaderCode
#include "iface.h"
%End

public:
  virtual float wonk(float, float) = 0;
};

//
// impl.py
from foo import IFoo

class FooImpl( IFoo ):
    def wonk( self, n1, n2 ):
        return n1 * n2


The only thing left to do in instantiate FooImpl and hand it back to
some C++ function.
