[pygccxml-development] Abstract Classes

[Lakin W. <lak...@gm...>]

In Ogre, a frequent design used is to define an abstract base class,
(Say RenderWindow).  Along with a Manager/Factory that creates that
window for you.  Then the platform specific implementations of those
classes are built to actually do the work.

However, the API dictates that you ask the Manager/Factory for an
implementation of RenderWindow (you don't care which), and you then
use it as a generic RenderWindow interface.


In py++, how do I model this?  I don't want to expose the platform
specific implementations of the classes, as they're not needed. But I
do need to somehow let the python run time know about the
AbstractClass so that when I ask the Manager for one, I can use it
from Python.

When I directly include the class in the ouput, I get a compile error
because of the lack of implementations ... of some methods.

Anyways, I'm going to sleep now.  See you all in a few hours.
