[ccmtools-devel] python wrapper status

[Leif J. <le...@am...>]

Hi all -

I'm still hacking on the Python wrapper generator. It's a bit slow
going, but progress is happening. I think the wrappers will be really
clean when they're finished ; there is a nice mapping between Python
objects and the CCM component structure, at least so far. The big issue
is going to be converting interfaces to Python and back---eech.

I made a couple of changes to the C++ generators. Notably, the base
CppGenerator class now has a list called base_namespace that can hold
any base namespaces needed by the child classes. For the
CppLocalGeneratorImpl, this list holds [ "CCM_Local" ], for the remote
generators it could hold [ "CCM_Remote" ], and for the
CppPythonGeneratorImpl it holds [ "CCM_Test", "Python", "CCM_Local" ].

These base namespaces are added to the namespace stack when the code
generators start processing a graph, so we (hopefully) don't need as
many hacks in the handleNamespace function (which is kind of a hack
anyway ; that's what you get for having a Python coder design things for
you. :).
