[Boost-users] Boost::python readonly access to nonconstant class members

21 Dec 2010

      Hi,

is it possible to have python have readonly access to class members
that are non constant?

typedef map<string,string> Links;

class DataSet {
	Links links;
}

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(_boosttest) {
    class_<Links>("Links")
        .def(map_indexing_suite<Links>());

    class_<DataSet>("DataSet")
        .def_readonly("links",&DataSet::links);
}

Although DataSet.links is defined readonly I can change it from within
python. What can I do to prevent python from overwriting links?

Thanks,

Ralf
