[pygccxml-development] questions about inheritance

[Kevin W. <kev...@gm...>]

I'm using Py++ with a complex class hierarchy with lots of virtual methods.

As one example, wxWindow inherits from wxObject.  But Py++ is
generating class wrappers which don't reflect any inheritance at all.
The class declaration for wxWindow looks like

    bp::class_< wxWindow, boost::noncopyable >( "Window" )
        .def( bp::init< >() )
        .def( bp::init< wxWindow *, wxWindowID, bp::optional< wxPoint
const &, wxSize const &, long int, wxString const & > >((
bp::arg("parent"), bp::arg("winid"), bp::arg("pos")=wxDefaultPosition,
bp::arg("size")=wxDefaultSize, bp::arg("style")=(long int)(0),
bp::arg("name")=wxString(wxPanelNameStr) )) )


Note the missing bp::bases.

Oddly enough, if I load up a module builder in a console and query
wxWindow for its bases with the "recursive_bases" property, I see that
pygccxml has successively pulled out a chain of classes that looks
correct: "wxWindow -> wxCocoaNSView -> wxWindowBase -> wxEvtHandler ->
wxTrackable -> wxObject"

By which criteria does Py++ decide to expose inhertiance? Do I need to
"include" each of the classes listed in wxWindow's recursive_bases
property? What if I want just the wxObject methods to be exposed?

Any help is much appreciated!
