[C++-sig] Conversion of python files to C++ ostreams

[Michele De Stefano]

Christopher,

I've figured out how you can use mds-utils.

The example is present into the documentation page of the
mds_utils::python::FileObj class.

So you have foo(ostream& os) and you would like to call it passing a
Python file object.

You cannot call

 foo(oFileObj(...))

directly, simply because there is no converter for converting from a
Python object into an oFileObj object.

So, as shown into the doxygen example, you have to program a wrapper
like this one:

foo_wrap(boost::python::object pyfile) {

     mds_utils::python::oFileObj      fobj(py_file);

     foo(fobj);
}

That's all, and it is quite simple.

I hope it helps.

Best regards.
Michele
