Probably Has anybody faced error C2976: 'boost::python::class_' : too few template arguments? Compiler msvc-8.0. BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello){ class_<World>("World") .def("greet", &World::greet) .def("set", &World::set) ; } produced that. Source code follows. #include <string> char const* greet() { return "hello, world"; } struct World { void set(std::string msg) { this->msg = msg; } std::string greet() { return msg; } std::string msg; }; #include #include using namespace boost::python; //nota che la funzione globale va prima BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello) { def("greet", greet); class_<World>("World") .def("greet", &World::greet) .def("set", &World::set) ; }
