[PyQt] DOUBTT

[Amey Patil]

Hi,
I am at the basic level in using sip wrapper in python. I have written a
small library in c++ and wrapping it in sip for execution in Python.
Copy pasting my entire files for better understanding. Also pasting the
output from the terminal, the behaviour i am getting is completely
unexpected, can you please look into it...

*word.h:*

class Word
{

public:
    int integer;
    const char *name;
    Word();
    void set_name(const char *a);
    void reset_name();
    const char *get_name();
};

*word.cpp:*

#include <iostream>
#include "word.h"

using namespace std;

Word::Word(){
    name = "PyQt";

}

void Word::set_name(const char *a){
    cout << "parameter passed to set_name is " << a << endl;
    cout << "name before set_name is " << name << endl;
    name = a;
    cout << "name after set_name is " << name << endl;
}

void Word::reset_name(){
    cout << "name before reset_name is " << name << endl;
    const char *x = "Epics";
    name = x;
    cout << "name after reset_name is " << name << endl;
}

const char *Word::get_name(){
    cout << "name before get_name is " << name << endl;
    return name;
}

*word.sip:*

%Module word

class Word
{

%TypeHeaderCode
#include <word.h>
%End

public:
    int integer;
    const char *name;
    Word();
    void set_name(const char *a);
    void reset_name();
    const char *get_name();
};

*Output in Python (Terminal):*

>>> import word
>>> w = word.Word()
>>> w.get_name()
name before get_name is PyQt
'PyQt'
>>> w.set_name("Amey")
parameter passed to set_name is Amey
name before set_name is PyQt
name after set_name is Amey
>>> w.get_name()
name before get_name is
''
>>> w.reset_name()
name before reset_name is <stdin>
name after reset_name is Epics
>>> w.get_name()
name before get_name is Epics
'Epics'

PROBLEMS:
1. It won't print the output when i call get_name() after calling set_name()
.
2. As you can see in the output, I am editing nothing between the
highlighted lines, still the output shows nothing in one while <stdin> in
other.

Please tell me what's wrong.

Looking forward for your reply,

Sincere Regards,
Amey Patil
