  1. POwrapping a list of structs with boost.python
    text
    copied!<p>I have a C++ function that returns a list of structs. Inside the struct, there are more lists of structs.</p> <pre><code>struct CameraInfo { CamName name; std::list&lt;CamImageFormat&gt; lImgFormats; std::list&lt;CamControls&gt; lCamControls; }; std::list&lt;CameraInfo&gt; getCameraInfo() { std::list&lt;CameraInfo&gt; lCamerasInfo; // fill lCamerasInfo return lCamerasInfo; } </code></pre> <p>then for exporting it I was using:</p> <pre><code>class_&lt;CameraNode....&gt; &gt;("CameraNode", no_init) ... ... .def("listCameraInfo", make_function(&amp;CameraNode::listCameraInfo)) .staticmethod("listCameraInfo") ... ; </code></pre> <p>And it was OK since I was using cout to print the data on screen... I would like now to use the return value and it's content from python like properties, this way:</p> <pre><code>cameras = [] cameras = CameraNode.getCameraInfo() print cameras[0].name print cameras[0].lImgFormats[0] and so on... </code></pre> <p>Is this even possible?? Should I be using add_property instead? I don't think I can create a class for every struct. This design made sense while I was working on C++ only but now that I would have to wrap it, I'm getting more and more confused.</p> <p>Any advice on wrapping std::list with boost.python in a general way would be very well accepted.</p> <h1>Edit:</h1> <p>I will add here links that I've found useful: <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/iterators.html" rel="nofollow">Iterators</a> <a href="http://wiki.python.org/moin/boost.python/StlContainers" rel="nofollow">StlContainers</a></p>
