Compilation of the `date_time`_ library takes some time. Fortunately + `pygccxml`_ allows to create, save and read `GCC-XML`_ generated file. + Instead of parsing source files each time, `pygccxml`_ parses xml files only. + Now, it takes only few seconds to read declarations. + + 2. The `date_time`_ library makes an extensive use of an other C++ libraries. + Filtering was the second problem I had to deal with. It was easy. + I wanted to export all declarations, defined under namespaces by the `date_time`_ + library: date_time, posix_time, local_time, gregorian.

This also solves an other very + important issue: original library documentation and examples - they could be + reused, without any changes. You can take a look on py_date_time/unittests + directory content. + +2. Namespace aliases have been introduced. ``bpt`` is shorter then + ``boost::posix_time``. As a result, generated code is more readable. + +3. Operators. The `date_time`_ library is using `boost.operators`_ framework to + implement operators overloading. This causes a small problem in `Python`_ + code. Operators, defined in based class, were not visible while using + derived class. After small conversation with people, from boost.python + list, the solution was found - to redefine all operators in derived class. + This functionality was missing in `pyplusplus`_. It took me one hour to + implement it. *code_creator.class_t* class from now has new property + called *redefine_operators*. All I needed to do, in order to export + operators in derived class, is to turn the flag on. + +--------------------- +Writing code to files +--------------------- +Functionality provided by `pyplusplus`_ was good enough for this use case.
