I am trying to use c++11 lambdas as accessor functions in boost::python's add_property, something along the following (the lambda is not strictly needed in this example, but will be needed for more...

I try to embed a Python script into my C++ program. After reading some things about embedding and extending I understand how to open my own python script and how to pass some integers to it. But no...

I am trying to build a Python module in C++ that transforms a 2D vector into a Numpy 2D array. What is incorrect here - presumably there is some transformation needed to a boost python object from ...

at work I have the task to convert a large library with Python 2.7 Code to Python 3.x. This library contains a lot of scripts and extensions made with boost python for C++. All of this is built w...

I have a tiny Python script which (in my eyes) makes threading.Thread.start() behave unexpectedly since it does not return immediately. Inside a thread I want to call a method from a boost::python...

I'm implementing a Python extension module using Boost.Python. The module should define its own custom exception classes that inherit Exception. How do I do that?

I'm trying to make Boost Python require that arguments are named by the caller. As Python 3 implements PEP 3102, I can easily do that in pure Python: def foo(*, name=None, age=None): print("%s i...

I am working on a C++ library with Python bindings (using boost::python) representing data stored in a file. Majority of my semi-technical users will be using Python to interact with it, so I need ...

So, I am trying to create a to_python converter that will allow me to return a boost::optional from an exposed function and have it treated as T if the optional is set and None if not. Based on a p...

Finally I'm able to use std::vector in python using the [] operator. The trick is to simple provide a container in the boost C++ wrapper which handles the internal vector stuff: #include <boost...

I have been embedding python into c++ and I would like to know if there is a way to find the type of the boost::python::object which is a result after executing a function of a python module. I hav...

I begin learning to use boost python and have a rookie question. I would like to write a function that can tie the lifetime of its argument to its results, such that when I call r = func(a), the a...
