【转】利用Boost.Python将C++代码封装为Python模块

用Boost.Python将C++代码封装为Python模块

一.     基础篇

借助Boost.Python库可以将C/C++代码方便、快捷地移植到python模块当中，实现对python模块的扩充。首先，将C++下的代码编译为动态库，并将生成的动态库命名为封装模块的名字，如：用BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(Module_Name)宏对需要导出的函数、全局变量、类等导入Python的Module_Name模块，此时生成的动态库需要更名为Module_Name.pyd。然后，将Module_Name.pyd放在python的系统搜索目录中（通常是%PYTHON_PATH%\DLLs目录）。最后，在IDLE GUI界面或是python脚本中执行import Module_Name，这样就可以在python复用C++中定义的函数、类等而不必重写。

 

xuyuan77标注:  如果出现dll无法加载的情况，可以用depends工具查看是否有依赖的dll缺失，比如我在ipython中import  BoostPython_Module_Abs 时无法load dll，是因为 DLLS目录下没有依赖的boost_python3-vc140-mt-x64-1_66.dll文件。

我测试的时候用的是boost 1_66版本，python3.5版本。原作者的代码有很多错误，我注释了代码，只试了import BoostPython_Module_Abs 模块。可以成功运行。

二.     实例篇

下面的实例代码主要针对抽象类、带默认实现虚函数的类、类的成员函数及操作符重载、带默认参数的函数(包括构造函数)、派生类、纯虚函数、返回对象及字符串的函数等的封装方法，基本概括了C+扩展到python模块的常见类型。
