Description: # Shiboken2-generator
        
        Shiboken is the generator used by the Qt for Python project.
        It outputs C++ code for CPython extensions, which can be compiled
        and transformed into a Python module.
        
        C++ projects based on Qt can be wrapped, but also projects
        which are not related to Qt.
        
        ## How does it work?
        
        Shiboken uses an API Extractor that does most of the job,
        but it requires a typesystem (XML file) to customize how the
        C++ classes/methods will be exposed to Python.
        
        The typesystem allows you to remove arguments from signatures,
        modify return types, inject code and add conversion rules
        from the C++ data types to Python data types, manipulate
        the ownership of the objects, etc.
        
        # Examples
        
        An example related to wrap a C++ library not depending on Qt
        can be found in our [repository](https://code.qt.io/cgit/pyside/pyside-setup.git/tree/examples/samplebinding).
        
        Additionally, you can find a couple of tests inside the
        [git repository](https://code.qt.io/cgit/pyside/pyside-setup.git/tree/sources/shiboken2/tests).
        
        For a more advanced case regarding extending a Qt/C++ application
        with Python bindings based on the idea of the PySide module,
        you can check the [scriptableapplication](https://code.qt.io/cgit/pyside/pyside-setup.git/tree/examples/scriptableapplication)
        example in our repository.
