Detailed Description

PyOpalObjectNS namespace contains PyOpalObject, a wrapper for Object objects, and various supporting objects.

PyOpalObject<C>: basic element wrapper for C, which should be a subclass of OpalElement. AttributeType: enumeration of Opal Attribute Types (real, string, etc) AttributeDef: struct containing all of the things PyOpalObject needs to know about each attribute that should be exposed to the python api. PyElementGetProperty: call policy to handle access of an Attribute for a python property PyElementSetProperty: call policy to handle setting of an Attribute for a python property

To wrap an OpalElement, say MyOpalObjectClass, you need to:

1. Define static member data for the PyOpalObject<MyOpalObjectClass>. This includes defining the attributes and setting a few options for different methods to expose.
2. In BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(my_opal_element_module), call

    PyOpalObject<MyOpalObjectType>.make_class()
   

Nb: apologies, this is heavy template stuff so almost everything has to go in the header file.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum PyOpal::PyOpalObjectNS::AttributeType

AttributeType is used to control conversion from python to OpalAttribute

• Float will convert to RealAttribute
• String will convert to StringAttribute
• Bool will convert to BoolAttribute (tho in python Bool is alias to long)
• Long will convert to RealAttribute
• VectorDouble will convert list to RealArray

PREDEFINED_STRING

Function Documentation

template<class C >

void PyOpal::PyOpalObjectNS::update

(

PyOpalObjectNS::PyOpalObject< C >

pyelement

)

Call update on a pyelement

Note that C must be a subtype of OpalElement or some other class that has an C::update() method (i.e. not OpalObject).

Variable Documentation

std::map< AttributeType, std::string > PyOpal::PyOpalObjectNS::attributeName

Initial value:

= std::map<AttributeType, std::string>({
    {DOUBLE, "float"},
    {STRING, "string"},
    {PREDEFINED_STRING, "predefined string"},
    {UPPER_CASE_STRING, "upper case string"},
    {BOOL, "bool"},
    {INT, "int"},
    {FLOAT_LIST, "list of floats"}
})

Maps the AttributeType to a string representation for docstrings/etc
