[Swig-user] Passing python list of strings to C++

[Gardner P. <ga...@ne...>]

Hi,

I am new to SWIG. I have used it in a simple example, where I implement som=
e
C++ classes to store char strings in an STL map, which seems to save
considerable memory over storing them in a python dictionary.

I would like to extend my sample code to allow python to send a list of
strings in to a new C++ class, but I have not been able to find any
documentation on how to do that. I have found one example which converts a
list of strings into a char** for C++, but I would have thought that there
would be some interface to an STL vector, or something similar.

Can someone provide me with an example. I would like to interface with a
class that looks something like this:

class Employee
{
public:
   Employee(string name);
   void Visits(map<string,int> visits);
   vector<string> WorkArea();
   string Center();
};

Any help is appreciated!
