<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8">1. Introduction</a></h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li>This document is written for people already familiar with the
<a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/2/c-api/index.html">Python/C API Reference Manual</a>.</li>
<li>The macros provided by the Hurricane Python/C API are written using
the standard Python C/API. That is, you may not use them and write
directly your functions with the original API or any mix between.
You only have to respect some naming convention.</li>
<li>Coriolis is build against Python 2.7.</li>
</ul>
<div class="section" id="first-a-disclaimer">
<h3>1.1 First, A Disclaimer</h3>
<p>The Hurricane Python/C++ API has been written about ten years ago, at a time
my mastering of template programming was less than complete. This is why this
interface is build with old fashioned C macro instead of C++ template.</p>
<p>It is my hope that at some point in the future I will have time to completly
rewrite it, borrowing the interface from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">boost::python</span></tt>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="about-technical-choices">
<h3>1.2 About Technical Choices</h3>
<p>Some would say, why not use <em>off the shelf</em> wrappers like <tt class="docutils literal">swig</tt>
or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">boost::python</span></tt>, here are some clues.</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p class="first"><strong>Partial exposure of the C++ class tree.</strong> We expose at Python level
C++ base classes, only if they provides common methods that we want
to see. Otherwise, we just show them as base classes under Python.
For instance <tt class="docutils literal">Library</tt> is derived from <tt class="docutils literal">DBo</tt>, but we won't see
it under Python.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><strong>Bi-directional communication.</strong> When a Python object is deleted, the
wrapper obviously has a pointer toward the underlying C++ object and
is able to delete it. But, the reverse case can occurs, meaning that
you have a C++ object wrapped in Python and the database delete the
underlying object. The wrapped Python object <em>must</em> be informed that
it no longer refer a valid C++ one. Moreover, as we do not control
when Python objects gets deleteds (that is, when their reference count
reaches zero), we can have valid Python object with a dangling
C++ pointer. So our Python objects can be warned by the C++ objects
that they are no longer valid and any other operation than the
deletion should result in a severe non-blocking error.</p>
<p>To be precise, this apply to persistent object in the C++ database,
like <tt class="docutils literal">Cell</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">Net</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">Instance</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">Component</tt>. Short lived
objects like <tt class="docutils literal">Box</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">Point</tt> retains the classic Python behavior.</p>
<p>Another aspect is that, for all derived <tt class="docutils literal">DBo</tt> objects, one and only
one Python object is associated. For one given <tt class="docutils literal">Instance</tt> object we
will always return the <em>same</em> <tt class="docutils literal">PyInstance</tt> object, thanks to the
bi-directional link. Obviously, the <em>reference count</em> of the
<tt class="docutils literal">PyInstance</tt> is managed accordingly. This mechanism is implemented
by the <tt class="docutils literal">PyInstance_Link()</tt> function.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><strong>Linking accross modules.</strong> As far as I understand, the wrappers
are for monolithic libraries. That is, you wrap the entire library
in one go. But Hurricane has a modular design, the core database
then various tools. We do not, and cannot, have one gigantic wrapper
that would encompass all the libraries in one go. We do one Python
module for one C++ library.</p>
<p>This brings another issue, at Python level this time. The Python
modules for the libraries have to share some functions. Python
provides a mechanism to pass C function pointers accross modules,
but I did found it cumbersome. Instead, all our modules are split
in two:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The first part contains the classic Python module code.</li>
<li>The second part is to be put in a separate dynamic library that
will hold the shared functions. The Python module is dynamically linked
against that library like any other. And any other Python module
requiring the functions will link against the associated shared
library.</li>
</ul>
<p>Each module file will be compiled <em>twice</em>, once to build the Python
module (<tt class="docutils literal">__PYTHON_MODULE</tt> is defined) and once to build the supporting
shared library (<tt class="docutils literal">__PYTHON_MODULE__</tt> <strong>not</strong> defined). This tricky
double compilation is taken care of though the <tt class="docutils literal">add_python_module</tt>
<tt class="docutils literal">cmake</tt> macro.</p>
<p>For the core Hurricane library we will have:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><tt class="docutils literal">Hurricane.so</tt> the Python module (use with: <tt class="docutils literal">import Hurricane</tt>).</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal">libisobar.so.1.0</tt> the supporting shared library.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal">PyLibrary.cpp</tt> file will have the following structure:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp">#include</span> <span class="cpf">&quot;hurricane/isobar/PyLibrary.h&quot;</span><span class="cp"></span>
<span class="k">namespace</span> <span class="n">Isobar</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">extern</span> <span class="s">&quot;C&quot;</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="cp">#if defined(__PYTHON_MODULE__)</span>
<span class="c1">// +=================================================================+</span>

<span class="p">}</span> <span class="c1">// Isobar namespace.</span>
</pre></div>
<p>This way, we do not rely upon a pointer transmission through Python
modules, but directly uses linker capabilities.</p>

<p>As a first example we will consider the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Hurrican::Library</span></tt>

<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><tt class="docutils literal">PyLibrary.h</tt>, defines the <tt class="docutils literal">PyLibrary</tt> C-Struct and the functions

<li><tt class="docutils literal">PyLibrary.cpp</tt>, contains the complete wrapping of the class and
the Python type definition (<tt class="docutils literal">PyTypeLibrary</tt>).</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal">PyHurricane.cpp</tt>, the definition of the Python module into which
the classes are registered. The module act as a <tt class="docutils literal">namespace</tt> in
Python so it is good practice to give it the same name as it's
associated C++ namespace.</li>

<p>Key point about this constructor:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>We want the Python interface to mimic as closely as possible the
C++ API. As such, Python object will be created using a static
<tt class="docutils literal">.create()</tt> method. So we do not use the usual Python allocation
mechanism.</li>
<li>As it is a <em>static</em> method, there is no first argument.</li>
<li>Python do not allow function overload like C++. To emulate that
behavior we use the <tt class="docutils literal">__cs</tt> object (which is a global variable).<ol class="arabic">
<li>Init/reset the <tt class="docutils literal">__cs</tt> object: see <em>step (1)</em>.</li>
<li>Call <tt class="docutils literal">PyArg_ParseTuple()</tt>, read every mandatory or optional
argument as a Python object (<tt class="docutils literal">&quot;O&amp;&quot;</tt>) and use <tt class="docutils literal">Converter</tt>
on each one. <tt class="docutils literal">Converter</tt> will determine the real type of
the Python object given as argument by looking at the
encapsulated C++ class. It then update the <tt class="docutils literal">__cs</tt> object.
Done in <em>step (2)</em></li>
<li>After the call to <tt class="docutils literal">PyArg_ParseTuple()</tt>, the function
<tt class="docutils literal">__cs.getObjectIds()</tt> will return the <em>signature</em> of
the various arguments. In our case, the valid signatures
will be <tt class="docutils literal">&quot;:db:string&quot;</tt> (<em>step (3.a)*a) and ``&quot;:library:string&quot;``
(*step (3.b)</em>).</li>
<li>Call the C++ method after extracting the C++ objects from
the Python arguments. Note the use of the <tt class="docutils literal">PYLIBRARY_O()</tt>
and <tt class="docutils literal">PYDATABSE_O()</tt> macros to perform the conversion.</li>

<h3>4.1 Base Class Header</h3>
<p><strong>Remark:</strong> this is only a partial description of the tree for the sake of
clarity.</p>
<p>One important fact to remember is that <tt class="docutils literal">PyEntity</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal">PyComponent</tt>
being related to C++ abstract classes, no objects of those types will be
created, only <tt class="docutils literal">PyContact</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">PyHorizontal</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">PyVertical</tt> will.</p>
<p>The consequence is that there is no <tt class="docutils literal">PyEntity_Link()</tt> like in <cite>3.1</cite>
but instead two functions:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><tt class="docutils literal">PyEntity_NEW()</tt> which create the relevant <tt class="docutils literal">PyEntity</tt> <em>derived</em>
object from the <tt class="docutils literal">Entity</tt> one. For example, if the <tt class="docutils literal">Entity*</tt> given
as argument is in fact a <tt class="docutils literal">Horizontal*</tt>, then the function will
return a <tt class="docutils literal">PyHorizontal*</tt>.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal">EntityCast()</tt> do the reverse of <tt class="docutils literal">PyEntity_NEW()</tt> that is, from
a <tt class="docutils literal">PyEntity</tt>, return the C++ <em>derived</em> object. Again, if the
<tt class="docutils literal">PyEntity*</tt> is a <tt class="docutils literal">PyHorizontal*</tt>, the function will cast it as
a <tt class="docutils literal">Horizontal*</tt> <em>then</em> return it as an <tt class="docutils literal">Entity*</tt>.</li>

<h3>4.6 Terminal Class File</h3>
<p>Changes from <a class="reference internal" href="#intermediate-class-file">4.4 Intermediate Class File</a> are:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>As previously, we have to redefine the macros <tt class="docutils literal">ACCESS_OBJECT</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal">ACCESS_CLASS</tt>.
But, as we are one level deeper into the hierarchy, one more level of
indirection using <tt class="docutils literal">_baseObject</tt> must be used.<ul>
<li><tt class="docutils literal">ACCESS_OBJECT</tt> becomes <tt class="docutils literal">_baseObject._baseObject._object</tt>.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal">ACCESS_CLASS</tt> becomes <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&amp;(_pyObject-&gt;_baseObject._baseObject)</span></tt>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>For defining the <tt class="docutils literal">PyTypeContact</tt> Python type, we call again
<tt class="docutils literal">PyTypeInheritedObjectDefinitions()</tt>. It is the same whether the class is
terminal or not.</li>
<li>And, this time, as the Python class is concrete, we call the macro
<tt class="docutils literal">DBoLinkCreateMethod()</tt> to create the <tt class="docutils literal">PyContact_Link()</tt> function.</li>

<p>Let's have a look at the encapsulation of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Hurricane::Point</span></tt>.</p>
<p>Non-BDo derived classes do not support the bi-directionnal communication.
So each Python object is associated with one C++ object. The C++ object
is created and deleted along with the Python one. This behavior implies
that the C++ object is <em>copy constructible</em> (which should be the case).</p>

<h3>5.2 Class File</h3>
<p>To put it bluntly, there is no difference in the Python module for
a standalone <tt class="docutils literal">DBo</tt> class and a non-<tt class="docutils literal">DBo</tt> class.</p>

<p>While <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Hurricane::DbU</span></tt> is a class, the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Hurricane::DbU::Unit</span></tt> is only
a <tt class="docutils literal">typedef</tt> over <tt class="docutils literal">uint64_t</tt>. The <tt class="docutils literal">DbU</tt> class only provides a set of
static methods to manipulate and convert to and from other units.
At Python level, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DbU::Unit</span></tt> will be stored in plain <tt class="docutils literal">long long</tt>.</p>
<p>When a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DbU::Unit</span></tt> argument is expected in a Python functions, just use
the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DbU::Unit</span>&nbsp; PyAny_AsLong( PyObject* )</tt> function to convert it.</p>
<p>For example, if we explicit the expension of:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">DirectSetLongAttribute</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">PyPoint_SetX</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="n">setX</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="n">PyPoint</span><span class="p">,</span><span class="n">Point</span><span class="p">)</span>
