[SciPy-user] conversion of c++ vector in weave

[Michael Sorich]

Hi

I wish to convert a small part of my code to C++ for speed. The code is
not amenable to numeric arrays and uses lists extensively. I am thinking
about using c++ vectors in place of python lists (I presume that this
will be a lot faster than using Py::List). What little experience I have
in extending python with C/C++ is limited to using weave.

If I use vectors, is there any method to automatically convert my result
(vector< vector<int> >) to something that can be returned to python
(tuple/list/array). I believe that Boost can do this (at least the
upcoming v2, see
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/boost/boost/li
bs/python/doc/v2/faq.html), however I am not sure how I would be able to
integrate this with weave.inline. It does not appear obvious that there
is anything in CXX that will do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
