What should my Python program include in order to use compiled Haxe object?

Question

I know, It's a very trivial question, but I haven't found any example, so I am stucked now.

I have a very simple Haxe object. This is the content of the file Thing.hx:

@Persistent
class Thing {
  @Property
  public var thingName: String;
}

I can compile it:

haxe Thing.hx -python Thing.py

The result is some magic, the content of Thing.py is:

class Thing:

  pass

  Thing.__meta__ = _hx_AnonObject({'obj': _hx_AnonObject({'Persistent': None}), 'fields': _hx_AnonObject({'thingName': _hx_AnonObject({'Property': None})})})

My DoTheThing.py Python program wants to use this:

import Thing

But it fails right on the import statement:

NameError: name '_hx_AnonObject' is not defined

Also, in my real project, I have a more complex Haxe class, which, when I include it from Python, occurs this error:

AttributeError: type object 'python_Boot' has no attribute 'keywords'

What Python modules should they include? How can I figure out, what modules should I include for my Haxe classes?

Answer 1

Finally, I've figured out that I need to add some haxe compiler option to include the missing methods.

First I needed to install nape:

haxelib install nape

Then compile:

haxe -lib nape Thing.hx -python Thing.py --macro "include('nape')" --macro "include('zpp_nape')"
