How to pass a python class to a C++ class

Hi,

> I tried to pass it as a python::object

Yes this is tricky. An example how you can pass python lists and objects is here:

https://github.com/yade/trunk/blob/master/py/wrapper/yadeWrapper.cpp#L201

Can you explain what your ClumpsFactory should do?

Creating/modifying clumps is already implemented in several methods.
Please also have a look at the manual section about clumps

Hi Christian

Thanks for your answer. I took my implementation from the yadeWrapper.cpp file. But nonetheless it's not working with a python::object as an argument type.

The ClumpsFactory is similar to the SpheresFacory, it's spitting out clumps for a defined massFlowRate during the simulation.

Hi Reza,

Your compilation problem is because you are not simply trying to pass an
argument. The syntax you are using is for registering an attribute (*),
which is more demanding in terms of object type (it has to inherit from
serializable).
It should be possible to achieve what you want by passing arguments, as
shown by Christian. The main bad side is that the template list will be
lost if you save the simulation and reload it latter. If it is really a
problem, you can probably register standard vectors to handle the data,
in the form below:

class Factory {
void setTemplates(python::list templates) {//convert templates into
lists of Vector3r and Real registered below }
YADE_CLASS_...
((vector<vector<Vector3r> >, positions, ...))
((vector<vector<Real> >, radii, ...))
}

Can you send the error message when you try to compile?
