Hi, I would like to use Python as a scripting language for a C++ framework I am working on.
The most common approach for this seems to be a "twin objects": the python and the C++ object have the same lifespan and are always linked to each other. My initial thinking was to use a "proxy approach" instead: the python object is only a temporary proxy object with a pointer to the real C++ object. The C++ object would live much longer than the proxy. Is the proxy approach a valid alternative? I can't imagine it hasn't been done before... I am interested in hearing your experiences with it... Currently I see the following + and -: + Easier for the C++ code (ie less changes, less coupling, no gc- issues) - Extending the framework through subclasses in Python is much harder Anything else?
