#include <jevois/Core/PythonWrapper.H>

Helper class to run python code from C++.

This class loads python code and makes it accessible through pyinst(). It is designed to be composed with other classes that will actually execute some python code via pyinst().

The main convention here is that the python code will define a class with the exact same name as the python filename (without trailing .py extension). This is the class that will then become accessible via pyinst().

Note that constructors and pythonload() will not throw, but pyinst() will if an error occurred at construction.

Often this class is inherited from by a class that also inherits from Component, to create a Component derivative that can run python code. In such case, PythonWrapper will register that sibling association with Engine when the python code is loaded. It is critical that you inherit from Component (or a derivative) before you inherit from PythonWrapper, so that by the time the PythonWrapper destructor is called the Component base should not yet have been destroyed, and it will be unregistered from Engine.
