boost python numpy_Boost.python重载numpy数组和python列表的构造函数

Given a C++ class exposed with Boost.Python, how do I expose two constructors:

one that takes a numpy array, and

another that takes a python list?

解决方案

I'm not a 100% on what you mean, but I'm assuming that you want to have a constructor taking a Python list and another one taking a numpy array. There are a couple of ways to go about this. The easiest way is by using the make_constructor function and overloading it:

using boost;

using boost::python;

shared_ptr CreateWithList(list lst)

{

// construct with a list here

}

shared_ptr CreateWithPyArrayObject(PyArrayObject* obj)

{

// construct with numpy array here

}

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(mymodule)

{

class_ >

("MyClass", no_init)

.def("__init__", make_constructor(&CreateWithList))

.def("__init__", make_constructor(&CreateWithPyArrayObject))

}

You can be even more clever and use an arbitrary type/number of arguments in your constructor. This requires a bit of voodoo to accomplish. See http://wiki.python.org/moin/boost.python/HowTo#A.22Raw.22_constructor for a way to expose a raw function definition as a constructor.
