Writing class factories with the Python/C API?

Hi folks

I'm currently faced with the need to write a class factory in C using
the Python/C API. It's purpose is to automatically wrap C++ objects at
run-time and provide a Python object. Thanks to the magic of Qt's
meta-object system, getting the information required to wrap the C++
object is the easy bit.

What I'm not sure I can do is create 'built-in' Python classes at run
time. I don't need to create classes in response to calls from Python
code, only C code, but the newly created classes do need to be available
to Python code of course. The newly created classes will be fairly
simple subclasses of a more powerful parent, and all they really need to
do is implement a bunch of methods and

So, before I throw myself too deeply into this task, does this sound
like something that's vaguely practical? All I'll really need to do is
add a bunch of methods on the generated subclasses, so I'm hoping so...

Hi I'd like to use metaclasses to dynamically generate a class based on a parameter to the objects init function. For example: class MetaThing(type): def __init__(cls, name, bases, dict, extra_information): super(MetaThing, cls).__init__(name, bases, dict)

I come from a background of Java and C# where it is common practise to have one class per file in the file/project structure. As I have understood it, it is more common practice to have many classes in a Python module/file. What is the motivation behind it, would it be a bad idea to have a guideline in your project that promotes a one class per file structure (assuming most of the programmers a background similar to mine)?

Hi I found that a type/class are both a subclass and a instance of base type "object". It conflicts to my understanding that: 1.) a type/class object is created from class statement 2.) a instance is created by "calling" a class object.

I have a class that reads an XML and according to its contents, it creates a List<Letter>, where Letter is an abstract class that is implemented in Alpha and Beta classes. I use a foreach statement consisting of a switch upon which i create an instance of e.g. Alpha an add it to the list.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
