Hello,
The topic below was opened in the Boost development mailing list,
where it's been pointed out to me that it fits better here.
You can also read the thread archive:

Hello,
I have written a little function that converts any Boost.Fusion
sequence into a Python tuple (boost::python::tuple). If a sub-sequence
is nested in the sequence, the result will also be a nested tuple (for
instance, boost::make_tuple(0, std::make_pair(1, 2), 3) will give (0,
(1, 2), 3) in Python).
The source code is attached to this mail.
The principle is that any sequence previously adapted to Boost.Fusion
will become a tuple in Python. So, by including the right
boost/fusion/adapted/xxx header, one can convert a pair, a tuple, a
boost::array, and obviously any of the sequences provided by
Boost.Fusion. For example:
#include <boost/python.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/adapted/std_pair.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/adapted/boost_tuple.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/container/generation/make_vector.hpp>
#include "make_tuple_from_fusion_sequence.hpp"
using namespace boost::python;
tuple from_sequence()
{
return make_tuple_from_fusion(
boost::fusion::make_vector(
1,
std::make_pair("first", "second"),
2,
boost::make_tuple('a', 'b', 'c'),
3
)
);
}
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(mymodule)
{
def("from_sequence", &from_sequence);
}
In Python we get:
>>> import mymodule
>>> mymodule.from_sequence()
(1, ('first', 'second'), 2, ('a', 'b', 'c'), 3)
Is there any interest in adding this function into Boost.Python? If
yes, I can write the doc and tests, clean the source and maybe improve
the implementation (for example, I feel that I could avoid the use of
m_iteration with a better use of Boost.Fusion...).
Regards
Bruno
