I'm trying to create an instance of Game, pass it into the main namespace of the test.py as the variable game, then call game.add(e) to run the C++ function that will add Entity e into the std::vector. However, this code produces the error:
unbound method Boost.Python.function object must be called with Game instance as first argument (got Entity instance instead)
(Some context: I'm trying to let Python create instances that will be kept in a container for C++ to run through every tick and update. I thought I had it working a few weeks ago but I came back to it and apparently it wasn't working - I know, source control.)
#include <vector>
class Entity{
public:
Entity(){}
Entity(float x, float y){}
};
class Game{
public:
Game();
void add(Entity* entity);
private:
std::vector<Entity*> objects_;
};
Game::Game(){
}
void Game::add(Entity* entity){
objects_.push_back(entity);
}
main.cpp:
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/python.hpp>
#include "Game.h"
#include "Entity.h"
using namespace boost::python;
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(sfgame){
class_<Game>("Game")
.def("add", &Game::add)
;
class_<Entity>("Entity", init<float, float>())
;
}
int main(){
PyImport_AppendInittab("sfgame", &initsfgame);
Py_Initialize();
object main_module = import("__main__");
object main_namespace = main_module.attr("__dict__");
import("sfgame");
Game* game = new Game();
try{
main_namespace["game"] = ptr(game);
exec_file("test.py", main_namespace);
}
catch (const boost::python::error_already_set &){
PyObject *ptype, *pvalue, *ptraceback;
PyErr_Fetch(&ptype, &pvalue, &ptraceback);
std::string error;
error = boost::python::extract<std::string>(pvalue);
std::cout << error << std::endl;
}
delete game;
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
test.py:
from sfgame import *
e = Entity(5,5)
game.add(e)
You would receive that error if you set the variable name in the main namespace to Game, as it would be the same as the class name.
However, the code posted is correct. You must have compiled the .pyd file using the variable Game, realised your error, then changed it to game and compiled the C++ file to test it without recompiling the .pyd file so the error remained.

I have a question regarding the below code.
It's an example how to pass a custom class via shared_ptr to embedded python code and it works when boost is dynamically linked.
Unfortunately the same code with statically linked boost doesn't work with the following error message:
"No to_python (by-value) converter found for C++ type: class boost::shared_ptr".
I don't understand why a different linking can affect type recognition of a registered converter. What am I missing?
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks,
Dominik
Example from here.
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
#include <boost/make_shared.hpp>
#include <boost/python.hpp>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
namespace bp = boost::python;
struct Foo{
Foo(){}
Foo(std::string const& s) : m_string(s){}
void doSomething() {
std::cout << "Foo:" << m_string << std::endl;
}
std::string m_string;
};
typedef boost::shared_ptr<Foo> foo_ptr;
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello)
{
bp::class_<Foo, foo_ptr>("Foo")
.def("doSomething", &Foo::doSomething)
;
};
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
Py_Initialize();
try {
PyRun_SimpleString(
"a_foo = None\n"
"\n"
"def setup(a_foo_from_cxx):\n"
" print 'setup called with', a_foo_from_cxx\n"
" global a_foo\n"
" a_foo = a_foo_from_cxx\n"
"\n"
"def run():\n"
" a_foo.doSomething()\n"
"\n"
"print 'main module loaded'\n"
);
foo_ptr a_cxx_foo = boost::make_shared<Foo>("c++");
inithello();
bp::object main = bp::object(bp::handle<>(bp::borrowed(
PyImport_AddModule("__main__")
)));
// pass the reference to a_cxx_foo into python:
bp::object setup_func = main.attr("setup");
setup_func(a_cxx_foo);
// now run the python 'main' function
bp::object run_func = main.attr("run");
run_func();
}
catch (bp::error_already_set) {
PyErr_Print();
}
Py_Finalize();
return 0;
}
I far as I understand the documentation about Boost Python linkage, it seems that the conversion registry used for automatic conversion of Python object into C++ object is not available when statically linked. I'm facing the same issue and that's a pity it is actually the case. I would have imagined at least the required converter to be bundle but I'm afraid it is not the case for some reason.
I am writing a custom PAM module.
I have written a shared object (.so) file as required for Linux-PAM. What this .so file does, is call embedded Python to open up my facial recognition and , depending on the outcome, will return PAM_SUCCESS or PAM_AUTH_ERR
In the /etc/pam.d/sudo file I have told PAM that the file resides in (/home/berns/2020-ca326-cberns-fileencryption-with-opencv/PAM/pam_authnew.so). This is okay as , when sudo is typed, I can see my own personal error statement being printed saying it could not load the Python file.
The issue I have is, the facial recognition code resides in a total different directory from where the .so file resides. (../code/facial). I have used a chdir command in my C code, but it does'nt seem to change the directory back to where the Python facial files reside to provide success or not.
Is there something I'm missing ?
C code given below:
#define PAM_SM_AUTH
#define PAM_SM_ACCOUNT
#define PAM_SM_SESSION
#define GetCurrentDir getcwd
#include <dlfcn.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
#include <security/pam_modules.h>
#include </usr/include/python3.6m/Python.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv){
}
PAM_EXTERN int pam_sm_authenticate( pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags,int argc, const char **argv ){
char *result;
chdir("../code/facial"); // this changes it to the correct directory to execute
//dlopen("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.6m.so",RTLD_LAZY | RTLD_GLOBAL);
Py_Initialize(); // Starts python interpreter
PyRun_SimpleString("import os\nimport sys\nsys.path.append(os.getcwd())"); // lets python know where we are
PyObject *mymod, *func1, *ret1;
mymod = PyImport_ImportModule("pam_detect"); // This is the .py
if (mymod != NULL){ // check if the file file was loaded
func1 = PyObject_GetAttrString(mymod, "detect"); // hel is the function name in the file you declared earlier
ret1 = PyObject_CallObject(func1, NULL); // Null because the function doesnt take an argument.
result = PyUnicode_AsUTF8(ret1);
//printf("%s\n", result);
if (strcmp(result, "success") == 0){
Py_Finalize();
return PAM_SUCCESS;
}
else{
Py_Finalize();
return PAM_AUTH_ERR;
}
}
else{
printf("Error: can't find file!\n");
}
Py_Finalize();
return 0;
}
Error response from the terminal below
Is this due to child processes not changing the directories outside of their own running space ?
Also worth noting if I compile the C code WITHOUT making it a .so , I can load up the Python files perfectly and recognise my face.
I am trying to embed python script into c++ project.
Below is what I have tried so far.
#include<iostream>
#include <Python.h>
int
main()
{
Py_Initialize();
PyObject* sysPath = PySys_GetObject("path");
PyObject* modPath = PyBytes_FromString("C:\\Users\\naal\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2017\\Projects\\Project1\pyscripts");
int result = PyList_Insert(sysPath,0, modPath);
PyObject *pModule = PyImport_ImportModule("myscript2");
printf("%p\n", pModule);
return 0;
}
below is the python script "myscript2.py"
def find_me():
print("hey you found me")
The problem is, the main module is not able to find the python script i.e object pyModule is always NULL, no matter how I change python script path.
What am I doing wrong ?
I ended up implementing this in another way.
#include<iostream>
#include <Python.h>
int main() {
std::string location = "C:\\Users\\myscript.py";
const char* file_location = location.c_str(); FILE* file_pointer;
Py_Initialize();
file_pointer = _Py_fopen(file_location, "r");
PyRun_SimpleFile(file_pointer, file_location);
Py_Finalize();
return 1;
}
The above seemed to work. I still don't know why the SYSPATH idea originially mentioned in the question didn't work.
I have a python script script.py containing a function hello that simply prints Hello World. I would like to call this function in my c++ program using boost python module. Below is what I have done so far which is working fine and verifies my setup is working. Can someone please guide me how can I execute the function from within my c++ program contained in the python script ?
#include <boost/python.hpp>
#include <cstdlib> // setenv
int main()
{
// Allow Python to load modules from the current directory.
//setenv("PYTHONPATH", ".", 1);
// Initialize Python.
Py_Initialize();
namespace python = boost::python;
try
{
python::object main_module = python::import("__main__");
python::object main_namespace = main_module.attr("__dict__");
python::object print = python::exec("from time import time,ctime\n"
"print 'Today is',ctime(time())\n", main_namespace);
}
catch (const python::error_already_set&)
{
PyErr_Print();
return 1;
}
// Do not call Py_Finalize() with Boost.Python.
}
Hello and thanks for your help in advance !
I am writing a python wrapper (SWIG 2.0 + Python 2.7) for a C++ code. The C++ code has typedef which I need to access in python wrapper. Unfortunately, I am getting following error when executing my Python code:
tag = CNInt32(0)
NameError: global name 'CNInt32' is not defined
I looked into SWIG documentation section 5.3.5 which explains size_t as typedef but I could not get that working too.
Following is simpler code to reproduce the error:
C++ header:
#ifndef __EXAMPLE_H__
#define __EXAMPLE_H__
/* File: example.h */
#include <stdio.h>
#if defined(API_EXPORT)
#define APIEXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define APIEXPORT __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
typedef int CNInt32;
class APIEXPORT ExampleClass {
public:
ExampleClass();
~ExampleClass();
void printFunction (int value);
void updateInt (CNInt32& var);
};
#endif //__EXAMPLE_H__
C++ Source:
/* File : example.cpp */
#include "example.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
/* I'm a file containing use of typedef variables */
ExampleClass::ExampleClass() {
}
ExampleClass::~ExampleClass() {
}
void ExampleClass::printFunction (int value) {
cout << "Value = "<< value << endl;
}
void ExampleClass::updateInt(CNInt32& var) {
var = 10;
}
Interface file:
/* File : example.i */
%module example
typedef int CNInt32;
%{
#include "example.h"
%}
%include <windows.i>
%include "example.h"
Python Code:
# file: runme.py
from example import *
# Try to set the values of some typedef variables
exampleObj = ExampleClass()
exampleObj.printFunction (20)
var = CNInt32(5)
exampleObj.updateInt (var)
Thanks again for your help.
Santosh
I got it working. I had to use typemaps in the interface file, see below:
- Thanks a lot to "David Froger" on Swig mailing lists.
- Also, thanks to doctorlove for initial hints.
%include typemaps.i
%apply CNInt32& INOUT { CNInt32& };
And then in python file:
var = 5 # Note: old code problematic line: var = CNInt32(5)
print "Python value = ",var
var = exampleObj.updateInt (var) # Note: 1. updated values returned automatically by wrapper function.
# 2. Multiple pass by reference also work.
# 3. It also works if your c++ function is returning some value.
print "Python Updated value var = ",var
Thanks again !
