Right now I'm using Boost Python to wrap some C++ code so that applications from both languages can use it.
This is great, but I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that a lot of this work is better coded in Python. There's nothing particularly CPU-bound, and the comprehensive Python library is a big help. So, I'm looking for a C++ wrapper generator, so that I can write a class in Python, and then have a .h and .cpp generated that will give me a corresponding C++ class. Of course, the usual restrictions apply: no dynamically added methods, accessing all instance data via getters and setters, etc. It seems a first cut of this is pretty straightforward, using introspection to get the required methods. Something needs to be done to specify the C++ types of the parameters. Is there any work being done in this area?
