#91015 — Strategies for using cffi with C++ code?

If my reading so far is correct, you can't directly apply cffi to C++
libraries. Everything has to be wrapped in "extern C" declarations, which
means, practically speaking, that you have to provide factory function
wrapper(s) around constructors and methods. I did find a trivial example:

but that just exposes a simple function to the Python programmer. Does
someone have a pointer to more substantive example of exposing a C++ class
to Python?

Thanks,

Skip
