Extension: PythonBindings

Extension name:

PythonBindings

Location:

http://www.daimi.au.dk/~abachn/oe/extensions/PythonBindings/

Purpose:

Create a abstract base class for integrating Python into OpenEngine. This class should be used as a super class for your more specific extension that wants to execute python scripts.

Dependencies:

• ScriptBindings
  
• Python >= 2.3
  
• Boost_Python >= 1.34.1
  

Implementation details:

We have used Boost Python to implement the python integration in OpenEngine. This abstract class gives the ability to run scripts og run entire python files. Before each run a Pre() method is called and a Post() method os called after the script has run. These can be overwritten in a subclass, but are here given the default behavior of nothing. A default environment is setup before each run. Subclasses have to specify a Init() method when subclassing from this class. This Init method is used to export classes and methods from C++ to python.
