Hello, I'm looking for some confirmation that my understanding of what boost.python is doing is correct.
>From what I understand boost::python::str represents the str (PyStringObject) type in Python. Unless I'm missing something, here doesn't seem to be anything like boost::python::unicode representing the unicode type (PyUnicodeObject). Boost.Python does have a built-in conversion from std::wstring to object, but this creates a str in Python, so presumably there is some (lossy?) decoding going on here. It seems that to directly create a PyUnicodeObject from C++ I will need to do one or more of the following: 1) Directly use the Python C API to create and manipulate PyUnicodeObject. 2) Create my own subclass of boost::python::object called for example 'unicode', which would be similar to the str class provided out of the box, but would use PyUnicodeObject underneath and deal with wchar_t rather than char. Correct? Many thanks, Rob DISCLAIMER: This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Roxar Group.
