How do I convert a C++ class into a 'data type', for instance, if I had a vector: dog_vector, I can convert it to a py::array and expose it to Python where it would be read as a Numpy array. How do I expose a class to Python, allowing for its methods to also be called from Python.
I am trying to create a callback function in Python which takes in a class defined in my C++ code i.e.
# Python side
import myextension
def make_dog_bark(dog: myextension.Dog):
dog.bark()
How do I convert a class into a data type that can be used as such in Python? If Dog was a vector, for instance, my C++ binding for the callback would have been:
make_dog_bark(py::array_t<int64_t>(dog_vector.size(), dog_vector.data()))
and I would use in Python as
def make_dog_bark(dog_vector: npt.npt.NDArray):
print(dog_vector)
I'm not sure if this is clear. I have tried to keep the example minimal and avoid putting all the callback registering and stuff but I can add more information if required.
