python如何实现类似指针概念_揭露Boost.Python的指针

I have this very simple C++ class:

class Tree {

public:

Node *head;

};

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(myModule)

{

class_("Tree")

.def_readwrite("head",&Tree::head)

;

}

I want to access the head variable from Python, but the message I see is:

No to_python (by-value) converter found for C++ type: Node*

From what I understand, this happens because Python is freaking out because it has no concept of pointers. How can I access the head variable from Python?

I understand I should use encapsulation, but I'm currently stuck with needing a non-encapsulation solution.

解决方案

Of course, I find the answer ten minutes after asking the question...here's how it's done:

class_("Tree")

.add_property("head",

make_getter(&Tree::head, return_value_policy()),

make_setter(&Tree::head, return_value_policy()))

;
