If my reading so far is correct, you can't directly apply cffi to C++ libraries. Everything has to be wrapped in "extern C" declarations, which means, practically speaking, that you have to provide factory function wrapper(s) around constructors and methods. I did find a trivial example:
https://gist.github.com/tonyseek/7821993 but that just exposes a simple function to the Python programmer. Does someone have a pointer to more substantive example of exposing a C++ class to Python? Thanks, Skip
