Want to pass a QDomDocument to an embedded Python script

[kesterpm]

I'm trying to pass a QDomDocument to an embedded Python script. I believe I can use Py_BuildValue, but I can't find any good examples that show you how to pass your own object. Cany anyone point me to some good examples of this?

embedded Python script

In what way embedded? Is your app written in C++ and you're running a Python script inside your app?

[kesterpm]

Yes, my C++ app will look for python scripts to load. Events are customizable and will call a Python method if it exists. Basically the app allows you to extend it's functionality using Python.

Hi,

Are you planning to use PySide to manipulate your QDomDocument on the python side ?

If so, this example might be a starting point.

Hope it helps

Yes, that code has been written and tested. The trick is passing this custom datatype between c++ and python. I could send a string over and import it into a qdomdocument, but that seems really inefficient.

Maybe the code injection part will offer some insight for your use case.

@SGaist Yeah it seems like you need to create a wrapper in C++ somehow. I would think a wrapper exists already, but I can't find any good examples. I'm pretty close to just sending it as a string to python, then converting it to a QDomDocument in the embedded python. Thanks for pointing me to those documents.
