I was reading some legacy code we have here, and discovered an unexpected
idiom. Starting from C++, we create a dictionary, store a few named constants
in there, and then call PyEval_EvalCode passing in the dictionary. The code it
calls is a bunch of python files generated from a CAD model, with no function
definitions. It works of course. Question is, what do you think of this
approach? What is a more typical idiom?
I don't quite understand the question. What I think of this approach
depends a lot on what you use it for. Typical for what ?
Having a C++ application run some python script that has access to some
of the application state (i.e., whatever you expose through the
dictionary) is certainly a fine way to make your application scriptable.
(FWIW, boost.python offers 'exec()' and 'eval()' for this.)
