Description

Feature Request

c_class is used to reflect a class defined on C++ side to Python in zero copy, without the overhead of pybind or any other 3rdparty FFI tools.

However, the features supported in c_class is not on parity with py_class yet. Namely:

  • The default __str__ method is not as good looking as py_class's #69
  • frozen=True is not supported
  • Per-field init=False is not supported yet.

Those are easy features to implement but lacking. Contributions are welcome!
