How to import boost module from C++ to python?












1















Following is the c++ code which I want to import.



#include <boost/python.hpp>
#include <string>

/*
* This is the C++ function we write and want to expose to Python.
*/
const std::string hello() {
return std::string("hello, zoo");
}

/*
* This is a macro Boost.Python provides to signify a Python extension module.
*/
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(zoo) {
// An established convention for using boost.python.
using namespace boost::python;

// Expose the function hello().
def("hello", hello);
}


The following code is python script.



import zoo     # In zoo.cpp we expose hello() function, and it now exists 
in the zoo module.

assert 'hello' in dir(zoo) # zoo.hello is a callable.

assert callable(zoo.hello) # Call the C++ hello() function from Python.

print zoo.hello()


When I try to run the script, I am not getting "hello, zoo" at the terminal as output. Where am I making the mistake?



Following is the error message I am getting:



import: not authorized zoo' @ error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1028.
./visit_zoo.py: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token
('
./visit_zoo.py: line 3: `assert 'hello' in dir(zoo)'

          You can either include the python executable in the header of your script file:



          #!/usr/bin/env python2


          and make the file executable or call the script with Python:



          $ python <filename>
