Nested namespaces and unloaded classes with a dictionnary from C++ to python

Bonjour I’ve a question about dictionary generation and the library auto-loading done with ROOT when dealing with python interface. I’m so far amazed by how simple that is (thanks a lot for that) and would like to know whether I might be doing something wrong in my mwe. I’m defining new classes within nested namespace, all inheriting from ROOT and I’ve realised that if I have several namespace I cannot access by autocompletion the content of the underlying objects. In order to be a but cleare…

thanks in advance

Hi @jbb - apologies for the terrible response time from my side… Indeed we initialize the Python view of namespaces lazily, but I currently don’t see why there’s an asymmetry between contents of a topmost and a nested namespace. I will (still) have to debug that. And that’s not going to happen this week or next because I still need to debug even more pressing issues (one: our test suite tells us master is broken, two: an experiment says ROOT is broken for them). I’ll try to get this handled still in September. Can you send an email to me (axel@cern.ch) should you not hear back in two weeks?

Again, apologies for letting this drop despite your pings!
