Attribute set within instance of a SWIG Python wrapped class are stored in SwigPyObject->dict, which tp_dictoffset slot is pointing to. However, SWIG wrapped classes did not have a __dict__ attribute. Inheriting subclasses did not get the attribute either because the SWIG wrapped classes initialize the tp_dictoffset slot: From http://bugs.python.org/issue16272: "If a type defines a nonzero tp_dictoffset, that type is responsible for defining a `__dict__` slot as part of the tp_getset structures. Failure to do so will result in the dict being inaccessible from Python via `obj.__dict__` from instances of the type or subtypes." Provide a SwigPyObject_get___dict__() function to retrieve the dict attribute or create it when it does not exist yet (it is normally created when setting attribute set), and a PyGetSetDef entry pointing to this function. |

SWIG Source directory
Source/DOH - A core set of basic datatypes including
strings, lists, hashes, and files. Used
extensively by the rest of SWIG.
Source/Swig - Swig core. Type-system, utility functions.
Source/Preprocessor - SWIG C Preprocessor
Source/CParse - SWIG C Parser (still messy)
Source/Modules - Language modules.
Source/Include - Include files.
Historic directories which may be in CVS, but have been removed:
Source/Modules1.1 - Old SWIG-1.1 modules. Empty.
Source/LParse - Experimental parser. Officially dead
as CParse is more capable.
Source/SWIG1.1 - Old SWIG1.1 core. Completely empty now.
