Can't call AIS_InteractiveContext::EntityOwners method, no SelectMgr_IndexedMapOfOwner type

[russelmann]

I cannot find a way to call the method AIS_InteractiveContext::EntityOwners. It requires an argument of type SelectMgr_IndexedMapOfOwner which is not available through pyocct.

Any idea for a workaround to get the list of SelectMgr_EntityOwner from AIS_InteractiveContext or any over way to programmatically select subshapes of an AIS_Shape?

Edit: An alternative could have been SelectMgr_Selection::Entities, however the return type NCollection_Vector<Handle< SelectMgr_SensitiveEntity > >& is not available through pyocct either.

Do you happen to have an example script that reproduces the issue using AIS_InteractiveContext::EntityOwners? I think I can bind the missing type, but would like a reproducible example to make sure and then add to the test suite. Thanks!

I sketched the following code using my current anaconda installation of pyocct.

from OCCT.AIS import AIS_Shape
from OCCT.BRepPrimAPI import BRepPrimAPI_MakeBox
from OCCT.SelectMgr import SelectMgr_EntityOwner
from OCCT.TopAbs import TopAbs_EDGE
from OCCT.Visualization.QtViewer import ViewerQt

edge_mode = AIS_Shape.SelectionMode_(TopAbs_EDGE)

box = BRepPrimAPI_MakeBox(1, 1, 1).Shape()

viewer = ViewerQt()
ais_context = viewer._the_view.my_context
ais_shape = viewer.display_shape(box)
ais_context.Activate(ais_shape, edge_mode)

map_of_owner = SelectMgr_IndexedMapOfOwner()  # not binded
owners = ais_context.EntityOwners(map_of_owner, ais_shape, edge_mode)
entyty_owner: SelectMgr_EntityOwner = map_of_owner.FindKey(1)
entyty_owner.SetSelected(True)

viewer.start()

In my understanding this snippet should create a box and select one of its edges.

Is this example ok or having it without the viewer (or else) would be of any help?
