[PyKDE] Heirarchy of header files !!

[satish k.chimakurthi]

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your response. 

I have a huge software library written in C++...I have nearly 50 headerfiles 
in it....I wrote a small code for my application using some classes which are 
defined in some of the header files


If I need to generate a PYTHON WRAPPER of the SOFTWARE LIBRARY only to the 
extent needed for my code to run from PYTHON ENVIRONMENT, what should I do ?? 
There is a big heirarchy of header file dependencies in my code..

For example.,

I have included a headerfile by name "Overture.h"  in my code. But then, The 
contents of "Overture.h" are declarations of 5 other header files...and those 
header files may include some other one's...

I am confused as a result...Can you help me ??

Also, please tell me if there is any detailed documentation about how exactly 
PyQT modules were generated using SIP from "QT"..

Thanks for your help in advance,

SATISH
