[C++-sig] ANN: Pyste - Boost.Python Code Generator

[Patrick Hartling]

I am very excited by the potential for this tool, especially with its 
support for templates.  (I really didn't want to go through the drudgery 
of exposing a library of templates to Python!)  I am having a problem 
running Pyste, though.  For some reason, copying 'filename' to 
'infilename' (line 62 of CppParser.py) creates a file in /tmp that is 
read-only.  I'm sure this is being caused by something screwy with my 
local environment settings, but I don't know what.  I am testing on 
RedHat 8.0, and my umask is 022.  I can modify CppParser.py to set the 
mode bits to 0644 immediately after the copy, but I would prefer to fix 
my environment settings rather than have a modified copy of Pyste.  Any 
ideas?
