OO-framework for creating a code generator for Boost.Python

Py++ uses GCC C++ compiler to parse C++ source files and allows you to expose C++ code to Python in quick and elegant way using the Boost.Python library. It uses the following steps to do so: - source code is passed to GCC-XML - GCC-XML passes it to GCC C++ compiler - GCC-XML generates an XML description of a C++ program from GCC's internal representation. - Py++ uses pygccxml package to read GCC-XML generated file. Feature list: - Py++ support almost all features found in Boost.Python library - Py++ generates code, which will help you to understand compiler generated error messages - Py++ has more than one mode of writing code into files: - single file - multiple files - multiple files, where single class code is split to few files - Py++ will save your compilation time - it will rewrite a file, only in case of change - You have full control over generated code. Your code could be inserted almost anywhere. - Py++ will check the "completeness" of the bindings. It will check for you that the exposed declarations don't have references to unexposed ones. - Py++ provides enough functionality to extract source code documentation and write it as Python documentation string - Py++ provides simple and powerful framework to create a wrapper for functions, which could not be exposed as is to Python
