Injecting a C side object into the local dict

Hello,

How do you go about taking a variable which was declared in C and pass
that through to a Python script? I have tried doing this by adding a
simple string which is a PyObject from C into the local dictionary and
retrieving it from script via a locals()["myCvar"] print statement.
This however does not seem to work. It would seem that when the scripts
are ran the local dictionary with the added item is wiped clean and a
new local dictionary is instead used. Any direction or help would be
appreciated.

Cheers,
Jamie.

Take a look at Pyrex.

In the "empty classes as c structs?" thread, we've been talking in some detail about my proposed "generic objects" PEP. Based on a number of suggestions, I'm thinking more and more that instead of a single collections type, I should be proposing a new "namespaces" module instead. Some of my reasons: (1) Namespace is feeling less and less like a collection to me. Even though it's still intended as a data-only structure, the use cases...

Is there a general way of injecting code into a function, typically before and/or after the existing code ? I know that for most purposes, an OO solution, such as the template pattern, is a cleaner way to get the same effect, but it's not always applicable (e.g. if you have no control over the design and you are given a function to start with). In particular, I want to get access to the function's locals() just before it exits, i.e....

Is there a way in python to add the items of a dictionary to the local function scope? i.e. var_foo = dict. I don't know how many items are in this dictionary, or what they are until runtime. exec statements are difficult for debuggers to deal with, so as a workaround I built my code into a function and saved it in a .py file. The I load the .py file as a module and call the function instead. This works great, and it has the added...

Please excuse me if this is obvious to others, but I can't figure it out. I am subclassing dict, but want to prevent direct changing of some key/value pairs. For this I thought I should override the __setitem__ method as such: class xs(dict): """ XS is a container object to hold information about cross sections. """
