Simple Shiboken Binding Tutorial

This is sample demonstration how to generate simple bindings with shiboken python binding generator. This tutorial was written by Roman Lacko in a recent mailing list.

  • FooLib project contains the library for which we want to generate the bindings
  • FooLibBinding project contains the generated binding sources

Software used:

Notes:

  • Update the paths to python libs and includes in FooLibBinding\FooLibBinding.pro. In this tutorial, it's assumed that python is installed in C:27_64.
INCLUDEPATH ''= ../pyside/include/PySide  ../pyside/include/PySide/QtCore  ../pyside/include/shiboken  c:/Python27_64/include  ../FooLib

LIBS''= c:/Python27_64/libs/python27.lib  ../pyside/shiboken-python2.7.lib  ../FooLib-build-Desktop-Release/release/FooLib.lib
  • Also update the path where you have installed Qt on your system in the files below
    • Replace this "c:–4.8.4-msvc2010-x64" with your path
pyside\include\PySide\pyside_global.h
FooLib\generate_binding.bat
  • Note that if you decide to experiment with using mingw, you will need to change the .lib extension to .a

To generate and test the bindings do the following:

  1. Install PySide
  2. Copy content of C:27\Lib\site-packages\PySide to BindingTest\PySide folder
  3. Compile FooLib project
  4. Run FooLib\generate_binding.bat
  5. Compile FooLibBinding project
  6. Run FooLibBinding\make_package.bat
