[Boost-users] [Pyhton] boost::shared_ptr problem between python modules

Hi All, I use - Visual Studio 2013 - boost 1.58 with NuGet - 64 bit Intel I have a class (called Log::FileSink) that I want to instantiate via a boost::shared_ptr. This class is derived from an abstract interface (Log::ISink) which is wrapped (Log::ISinkRealizer) boost::python::class_, boost::noncopyable>("ISink", boost::python::no_init) .def("AddEntry", boost::python::pure_virtual(&Log:: ISinkRealizer::AddEntry)) .def("ShallLog", boost::python::pure_virtual(&Log:: ISinkRealizer::ShallLog)); boost::python::class_, boost::python::basesLog::ISink, boost::noncopyable> ("FileSink", boost::python::init()) .def("AddDomain", &Log::FileSink::AddDomain): When I create a python instance from the FileSink and I pass it to the constructor of another class inside the same module then it works fine.

import DiagnsoticsPy logFile = DiagnsoticsPy.FileSink("system.log"); logFile.AddDomain("Sensor.SensorController", DiagnsoticsPy.Severity.VerboseAndAbove); logFile.AddDomain("Python.DI", DiagnsoticsPy.Severity.VerboseAndAbove); logSource = DiagnsoticsPy.Source("Python.DI", logFile)

("Source", boost::python::init()) .def(boost::python::initLog::ISink>());

class DIAGNOSTICS_API Source { public: Source(const std::string& name, boost::shared_ptr sink); }; However when I want to pass the same "logFile" instance to a method which is defined in another python module then the conversion between python and C++ fails. boost::python::class_Sensor::SensorController, boost::noncopyable>("SensorController", boost::python::initLog::ISink>()); class SENSORCONTROL_API SensorController : public boost:: enable_shared_from_this<SensorController> { public: explicit SensorController(boost::shared_ptrLog::ISink logSink); };

import SensorControlPy sensorController = SensorControlPy.SensorController(logFile);

Python argument types in SensorController.__init__(SensorController, FileSink) did not match C++ signature: __init__(struct _object * __ptr64, class boost::shared_ptr<class Log::ISink>) If I put the all the Python bindings (also the SensorController) into the same python module then the call to the SensorController constructor works.
