Hello,
What is the usual way for binding method templates ?
There's no simple way, sometimes it's possible some times not because we
can't instantiate those template methods at runtime. So you need to
analyze the semantics of the method and write some kind of code
injection to do the hard task of connect the world of compile time stuff
(C++ templates) to the world of run time stuff (Python).
As an example you could see our implementation of qmlRegisterType<T>[1]
or QObject::findChildren to have an idea.
I wonder if this could be made automatic by extending apiextractor to
parse templates as well? or does it already parse templates and one
could extend the generator?
Of course, it would not work in 100% cases, but it would be nice if we
could have some typesystem support for simple templates which would
not require manual inject code.
It isn't a parser problem, it's a "can't generate C++ code at runtime problem"
:-P
C++ knows everything at compile time, but when we are generating the bindings
we don't know what types the python user will use to call Foo::bar<T> method.
For some cases we can do workarounds like creating a C++ type and using it in
the function call every time the python user calls the bar function with a
Python type, for other cases it is a bit harder, btw you can take as hard
example the qRegisterMetaType function that isn't binded yet in PySide because
it requires a non trivial workaround.
My two BRL cents :)

I follow Anderson Lizardo on this point. Instantiating some templates
adding one line in a type system could be really helpful.
