Detailed Description

Holds a reference to a Python object (no reference counting)

The handle class is a thin wrapper around an arbitrary Python object (i.e. a PyObject * in Python's C API). It does not perform any automatic reference counting and merely provides a basic C++ interface to various Python API functions.

.. seealso:: The object class inherits from handle and adds automatic reference counting features.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

handle() [1/3]

handle::handle ( )

default

The default constructor creates a handle with a nullptr-valued pointer.

handle() [2/3]

template<typename T , detail::enable_if_t< detail::is_pyobj_ptr_or_nullptr_t< T >::value, int > = 0>

handle::handle ( T  ptr )

inline

Enable implicit conversion from PyObject * and nullptr. Not using handle(PyObject *ptr) to avoid implicit conversion from 0.

Definition at line 225 of file pytypes.h.

handle() [3/3]

template<typename T , detail::enable_if_t< detail::all_of< detail::none_of< std::is_base_of< handle, T >, detail::is_pyobj_ptr_or_nullptr_t< T >>, std::is_convertible< T, PyObject *>>::value, int > = 0>

handle::handle ( T &  obj )

inline

Enable implicit conversion through T::operator PyObject *().

Definition at line 235 of file pytypes.h.

Member Function Documentation

cast() [1/2]

template<typename T >

T handle::cast

(

)

const

Attempt to cast the Python object into the given C++ type. A cast_error will be throw upon failure.

Definition at line 1071 of file cast.h.

cast() [2/2]

template<>

void handle::cast ( ) const

inline

Definition at line 1075 of file cast.h.

check()

bool handle::check ( ) const

inline

Definition at line 281 of file pytypes.h.

dec_ref()

const handle& handle::dec_ref ( ) const &

inline

Manually decrease the reference count of the Python object. Usually, it is preferable to use the object class which derives from handle and calls this function automatically. Returns a reference to itself.

Definition at line 259 of file pytypes.h.

inc_ref()

const handle& handle::inc_ref ( ) const &

inline

Manually increase the reference count of the Python object. Usually, it is preferable to use the object class which derives from handle and calls this function automatically. Returns a reference to itself.

Definition at line 246 of file pytypes.h.

inc_ref_counter() [1/2]

static std::size_t handle::inc_ref_counter ( std::size_t  add )

inlinestaticprivate

Definition at line 288 of file pytypes.h.

inc_ref_counter() [2/2]

static std::size_t handle::inc_ref_counter ( )

inlinestatic

Definition at line 295 of file pytypes.h.

operator bool()

handle::operator bool ( ) const

inlineexplicit

Return true when the handle wraps a valid Python object.

Definition at line 271 of file pytypes.h.

operator!=()

bool handle::operator!= ( const handle &  h ) const

inline

Definition at line 279 of file pytypes.h.

operator==()

bool handle::operator== ( const handle &  h ) const

inline

Deprecated: Check that the underlying pointers are the same. Equivalent to obj1 is obj2 in Python.

Definition at line 277 of file pytypes.h.

ptr() [1/2]

PyObject* handle::ptr ( ) const

inline

Return the underlying PyObject * pointer.

Definition at line 238 of file pytypes.h.

ptr() [2/2]

PyObject*& handle::ptr ( )

inline

Definition at line 239 of file pytypes.h.
