Overview

The Python Script Manager is a robust tool designed to integrate Python scripting seamlessly into a C++ environment. Primarily geared towards game development, it provides a fluent scripting system that bridges the gap between Python and C++ functionalities. This tool is essential for developers looking to leverage the simplicity of Python within C++-based applications, particularly in the context of game world interactions and management.

Features

• Python-C++ Integration: Utilizes pybind11 to embed Python within the C++ environment, ensuring smooth interaction between the two languages.
• Script Lifecycle Management: Handles the entire lifecycle of Python scripts, from loading to execution and unloading, within the C++ application.
• Dynamic Script Reloading: Supports real-time reloading of scripts, enabling on-the-fly updates and testing.
• Comprehensive Binding Support: Includes bindings for various types, movers, and world elements, allowing extensive manipulation and interaction within the game world.
• Logging and Event Handling: Custom logging functionalities and event handling mechanisms for better script management and debugging.
• Module Function Caching: Implements caching for module functions, enhancing performance by reducing redundant loading and parsing of frequently used scripts.

Prerequisites and Requirements

• Python: A compatible Python installation is required for script execution. Ensure that Python is properly installed and accessible by the C++ environment.
• pybind11: This tool relies heavily on pybind11 for embedding Python into C++. pybind11 must be installed and configured correctly.
• C++17 Compiler: The project is built using C++17 standards; thus, a compatible C++ compiler is necessary.
• Game Development Context: While primarily designed for game development, the Python Script Manager can be adapted for other C++-Python integration needs.

Installation

1. Clone the Repository: Clone or download the Python Script Manager repository to your local machine.
2. Configure pybind11: Ensure pybind11 is installed and properly set up in your development environment.
3. Build the Project: Use a C++17 compatible compiler to build the project. Follow the build instructions specific to your platform.

Usage

• Integrate the Python Script Manager into your C++ project.
• Utilize the provided APIs to load, execute, and manage Python scripts.
• Leverage the binding functionalities to interact with Python scripts efficiently.
