wrapping C++, how to wrap an object?

[Torsten Mohr]

Hi,

i just read everything that i found for writing modules
and interfacing to C/C++.

I'd like to write some wrapper code for some C++ class.
For this i want to store an object of this class in
Python somehow.

how can i store a memory region (the object) in a Python
data type?


Best regards,
Torsten.

AFAIK, you have 2 mainstream choices for wrapping C++:
1. Boost.Python - http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/
2. SWIG - http://www.swig.org/

I'm also aware of:
3. SIP - http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/sip/docs/sipref.html

I use Boost.Python and have found it to be excellent.
