This subject was recently discussed on pygccxml mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=BAY127-W4F7525C7D12CD96F134EF8F640%40phx.gbl&forum_name=pygccxml-development > I've been trying to play with pyplusplus.module_builder, but cannot > find a way to allow native conversions, and google isn't being of help > either. > Is it possible to achieve native conversions, and, if it is, why is it > not done by default? Hope the posted link will clarify few things for you. -- Roman Yakovenko C++ Python language binding http://www.language-binding.net/ _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
