Another reference problem

[MD-16]

Hi,

I've a problem passing a Python object to a method that expects a
reference value, I read lots of previous messages but I couldn't find
one that fit my situation so here is my problem:

Python class:

import mymodule as mm
class PyFoo(mm.Foo): pass
class PyBar(mm.Bar): pass

pf = PyFoo()
pb = PyBar()
pb.test(0, pf) # the problem manifests here

Foo and Bar are C++ classes and Bar::test has the following signature:

void test(my_enum_type, Foo&);

The error message I have is:
TypeError: "in method Bar_test, argument 3 of type 'Foo &'"

I tried to define a typemap like this:
%typemap(directorin) (my_enum_type et, Foo &foo) {
        $1 = et;
        $2 = &foo;
}

but it looks like it's not taken into account.
What should I do more ?

Thanks,
MD

directorin won't be used unless this method is virtual. Also
my_enum_type must be a global enum. You must also make sure that
directors are turned on for the class and the test method, turn it on
globally:
%feature("director") ;
The typemap must also be declared before SWIG parses test. Here is a
full example:

%module(directors="1") example

%feature("director") ;

%typemap(directorin) (my_enum_type et, Foo &foo) {
// $input - $1 - "$1_name" - $2 - "$2_name"
}

%inline %{
class Foo {
public:
   virtual ~Foo() {}
};
enum my_enum_type { a, b };
class Bar {
public:
   virtual ~Bar() {}
   virtual void test(my_enum_type et, Foo &foo) {}
};
%}

You'll have to fill in the contents of the directorin typemap with
whatever you are hoping to achieve.

For special variables, the python typemaps use $input and for some
strange reason $1_name is used instead of $1.
