Hello, I have written a little function that converts any Boost.Fusion sequence into a Python tuple (boost::python::tuple). If a sub-sequence is nested in the sequence, the result will also be a nested tuple (for instance, boost::make_tuple(0, std::make_pair(1, 2), 3) will give (0, (1, 2), 3) in Python). The source code is attached to this mail. The principle is that any sequence previously adapted to Boost.Fusion will become a tuple in Python. So, by including the right boost/fusion/adapted/xxx header, one can convert a pair, a tuple, a boost::array, and obviously any of the sequences provided by Boost.Fusion. For example: #include <boost/python.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/adapted/std_pair.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/adapted/boost_tuple.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/container/generation/make_vector.hpp> #include "make_tuple_from_fusion_sequence.hpp" using namespace boost::python; tuple from_sequence() { return make_tuple_from_fusion( boost::fusion::make_vector( 1, std::make_pair("first", "second"), 2, boost::make_tuple('a', 'b', 'c'), 3 ) ); } BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(mymodule) { def("from_sequence", &from_sequence); } In Python we get:
import mymodule mymodule.from_sequence() (1, ('first', 'second'), 2, ('a', 'b', 'c'), 3)
Is there any interest in adding this function into Boost.Python? If yes, I can write the doc and tests, clean the source and maybe improve the implementation (for example, I feel that I could avoid the use of m_iteration with a better use of Boost.Fusion...). Regards Bruno
