PyBindGen

Custom string class?

Asked by John Pursey

Hello again,

The library I am wrapping uses custom containers to override allocation on the C++ side. pybindgen generates bindings for these just fine with 'add_container', but is there any way to register a std::string alternative? It has the same behavior and methods of std::string.

I guess you need to copy/modify the std::string type handlers in pybindgen/typehandlers/stringtype.py. There can be only one 'std::string' type handler, you have to replace it. It's a bit hackish, but I don't think there's any alternative.

Can you help with this problem?
