Boost.python code generator
pyste [options] interface-files
Pyste is a Boost.Python code generator. The user specifies the classes and functions to be exported using a simple interface file which, following the Boost.Python's philosophy, is simple Python code. Pyste then uses GCCXML to parse all the headers and extract the necessary information to automatically generate C++ code.
--module=<name>
The name of the module that will be generated; defaults to the first interface filename, without the extension.
-I <path>
Add an include path
-D <symbol>
Define symbol
--multiple
Create various cpps, instead of only one (useful during development)
--out=<name>
Specify output filename (default: <module>.cpp) in --multiple mode, this will be a directory
--no-using
Do not declare "using namespace boost"; use explicit declarations instead
--pyste-ns=<name>
Set the namespace where new types will be declared; default is the empty namespace
--debug
Writes the xml for each file parsed in the current directory
--cache-dir=<dir>
Directory for cache files (speeds up future runs)
--only-create-cache
Recreates all caches (doesn't generate code).
--generate-main
Generates the _main.cpp file (in multiple mode)
--file-list
A file with one pyste file per line. Use as a substitute for passing the files in the command line.
--gccxml-path=<path>
Path to gccxml executable (default: gccxml)
--no-default-include
Do not use INCLUDE environment variable for include files to pass along gccxml.
