Embedding Python APT
====================
This is a very basic tutorial for working with the C++ bindings.
Basics
-------
To use the python-apt C++ bindings, first include the
``python-apt/python-apt.h`` header::
#include <python-apt/python-apt.h>
Now, the module needs to be initialized. This is done by calling the function
:c:func:`import_apt_pkg`. This function returns 0 on success and a negative
value in case of failure::
if (import_apt_pkg() < 0)
return;
Longer example
--------------
The following code will create a standalone application which provides a
module ``client`` with the attribute ``hash`` which stores an object of the
type :class:`apt_pkg.HashString`:
.. literalinclude:: ../../client-example.cc
.. highlight:: sh
If this file were called client-example.cc, you could compile it using::
g++ -lapt-pkg -lpython2.5 -I/usr/include/python2.5 -o client client-example.cc
