I have a class with "create" methods for different types of arguments:
#include <boost/python.hpp>
class Test {
public:
Test() {}
Test(int x) : _type(x) {}
static Test create(int) { return Test(0); }
static Test create(double) { return Test(1); }
static Test create(const char*) { return Test(2); }
int get_type() const { return _type; }
private:
int _type;
};
using namespace boost::python;
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(Test) {
class_<Test>("Test")
.def("create", (Test (*)(int)) &Test::create)
.def("create", (Test (*)(double)) &Test::create)
.def("create", (Test (*)(const char*)) &Test::create)
.def("get_type", &Test::get_type)
.staticmethod("create")
;
}
The python wrappers created by boost don't seem to distinguish between
create(int) and create(double), although they do notice create(const char*):
>>> from Test import *
>>> x = Test.create(0)
>>> print x.get_type()
1
>>> x = Test.create(0.0)
>>> print x.get_type()
1
>>> y = Test.create("hi")
>>> print y.get_type()
2
Any ideas what I do wrong?
