Hi folks I'm currently faced with the need to write a class factory in C using the Python/C API. It's purpose is to automatically wrap C++ objects at run-time and provide a Python object. Thanks to the magic of Qt's meta-object system, getting the information required to wrap the C++ object is the easy bit.
What I'm not sure I can do is create 'built-in' Python classes at run time. I don't need to create classes in response to calls from Python code, only C code, but the newly created classes do need to be available to Python code of course. The newly created classes will be fairly simple subclasses of a more powerful parent, and all they really need to do is implement a bunch of methods and So, before I throw myself too deeply into this task, does this sound like something that's vaguely practical? All I'll really need to do is add a bunch of methods on the generated subclasses, so I'm hoping so... -- Craig Ringer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
