QVariant and PythonQtObjectPtr

[Alan Ezust]

I was wondering, all of the call() methods that i see in PythonQt and PythonQtObjectPtr return QVariant. Do I need to go into the <Python.h> interface to get a PyObject* and then wrap that in a PythonQtObjectPtr? Or is there a way to get a reference to an object returned by a callable from PythonQt?

Or is there a way to convert the returned QVariant into a PythonQtObjectPtr?

this example maybe helpful.

QVariant v;
MyCustomStruct c;
c=v.value<MyCustomStruct >();

One of the constructors of PythonQtObjectPtr takes a QVariant, and if that holds a PyObject*, the PythonQtObjectPtr takes ownership of it. So you can simply write:

PythonQtObjectPtr result = module.call("func", …);

'result' is a wrapped Python object, so you can do: result.getVariable(), result.call(), etc.
