| | 1 | This patch makes a number of changes to the SWIG python module. |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | 1. Add -apply option, and change the default code output to use the |
| | 4 | foo(*args, **kw) calling syntax instead of using apply(). If the |
| | 5 | -apply option is given then code is generated as before. This is |
| | 6 | very similar to Patch #737281 but the new -modern option makes the |
| | 7 | second half of that patch unnecessary so it is not included here. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | 2. Add -new_repr option. This is the same as my Patch #797002 which I |
| | 10 | will mark as closed since it is no longer needed. When this new |
| | 11 | option is used then the __repr__ methods that are generated for |
| | 12 | proxy classes will be more informative and give details about the |
| | 13 | python class and the C++ class. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | 3. Add %feature("addtofunc"). It allows you to insert one or more |
| | 16 | lines of code inside the shadow method or function that is already |
| | 17 | generated, instead of replacing the whole thing like |
| | 18 | %feature("shadow") does. For __init__ it goes at the end, for |
| | 19 | __del__ it goes at the begining and for all others the code |
| | 20 | generated is expanded out to be like |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | def Bar(*args, **kwargs): |
| | 23 | val = _module.Foo_Bar(*args, **kwargs) |
| | 24 | return val |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | and the "addtofunc" code is inserted just before the return |
| | 27 | statement. If the feature is not used for a particular method or |
| | 28 | function then the shorter code is generated just like before. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | 4. A little bit of refactoring to make implementing addtofunc a little |
| | 31 | easier. |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | 5. Added a -modern command-line flag that will cause SWIG to omit the |
| | 34 | cruft in the proxy modules that allows it to work with versions of |
| | 35 | Python prior to 2.2. The result is a simpler, cleaner and faster |
| | 36 | python proxy module, but one that requires Python 2.2 or greater. |
| | 37 | For most of us this requirement is easy to live with! |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | I've been using and greatly benefiting from all these features with |
| | 41 | wxPython for the last few weeks and have had no problems. |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | This patch depends upon Patch #829317. |
