Thanks it works fine...how do check the return response... Using extract<string> or <extract<char*> doesn't seem to help.. Am I doing something wrong ?

Hello, I am trying to use python to do my XML post ? Can I do this by directly calling import on the httplib like this and setting parameters ?

ex: boost::python::object

http_module((boost::python::handle<>(boost::python::borrowed(PyImport_Ad

dModule("httplib")))));

boost::python::object http_module = boost::python::import("httplib");

boost::python::<....some kind of python compile time...interface...> h = < some kind of cast...>

http_module.HTTP("http://www.abc.com");

http_module.attr("HTTP")("http://www.abc.com");

h.putrequest('POST', selector)

ditto, etc.

h.putheader('content-type', content_type) h.putheader('content-length', str(len(body))) h.endheaders() h.send(body)

Or should the actual code for this object reside in a text file and I should call exec_file ?

You can do that too.

What does it do?

Am I doing something wrong ?

You might try to figure out what's in response by printing it. Maybe respose["result"] is not a string, or else maybe it's unicode...

Here is the code:

boost::python::object response = gpPythonHttp->attr("urlopen")(m_sURI.c_str(),strXMLOutput.c_str()); boost::python::exec("result = read()", response); std::string res = boost::python::extract<std::string>(response["result"]);

Thanks it works...was calling extract on the wrong object... I made it work with "urllib2" module also.. Here is the sample of working code, that others can use or improve upon. Example of doing a HTTP post....using python interface from C++ and reading the return response ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------- // do the following initially... Py_Initialize() ; boost::python::object http = boost::python::import("urllib2"); // the following code can be called any number of times... try { std::strPostBody("<test/>"); // posting xml using http-post..can be other stuff.. boost::python::object response = http .attr("urlopen")(strURI.c_str(),strPostBody.c_str()); boost::python::object read = response.attr("read")(); std::string strResponse = boost::python::extract<char*>(read); } catch(...) { PyErr_Print(); PyErr_Clear(); } - Raja -----Original Message----- From: boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org [mailto:boost-users-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of David Abrahams Sent: Monday, August 20, 2007 2:02 PM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Can Python "httplib" module be directlyembeddedinC++ ? on Mon Aug 20 2007, "Raja Cherukuri" <raja-AT-transerainc.com> wrote:

Again, try printing response: print response also, print type(response) That should be revealing.
