SWIG, Python and C structures

Hi,

I have structures like the following:

typedef struct _SX
{
int i;
char str[10];
} SX;

typedef struct _SXA
{
int num_elements;
SX sa[10];
} SXA;

void myfunc1( SX *sx_p );
void myfunc2( SXA *sxa_p );

The swig interface file simply includes the .h-file with the '%include'
statement.

I'm having problems when sending elements of SX within the SXA as an
argument to myfunc2!

The Python codes is like following:
....
sx1 = pymod.SX()
sx1.i = 1
sx1.str = "string1"
sx2 = pymod.SX()
sx2.i = 2
sx2.str = "string2"

sxl = []
sxl.append( sx1 )
sxl.append( sx2 )

sxa = pymod.SXA()
sxa.num_element s = len(sxl)
sxa.sa = sxl # <-triggers the
following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pymod_test.py" , line 34, in ?
test()
File "pymod_test.py" , line 31, in test
test2()
File "pymod_test.py" , line 25, in test2
sxa.sa = sxl
File "/home/user/utv/misc/pymods/pymod.py", line 70, in <lambda>
__setattr__ = lambda self, name, value: _swig_setattr(s elf, SXA,
name, value)
File "/home/user/utv/misc/pymods/pymod.py", line 22, in _swig_setattr
return _swig_setattr_n ondynamic(self, class_type,name ,value,0)
File "/home/user/utv/misc/pymods/pymod.py", line 15, in
_swig_setattr_n ondynamic
if method: return method(self,val ue)
TypeError: argument number 2: a 'SX *' is expected, 'list([<pymod.SX;
proxy of C SX instance at _a0211708_p__SX >, <pymod.SX; proxy of C SX
instance at _70b21408_p__SX >])' is received

I've tried to add a %typemap (in) SX { ... } without any success.

The following assignment with call to myfunc2 works though.
sxa.sa = sx1

Can anyone please advise

Regards
- Ingi

Hi, I'm using Python in my win32 app by linking to the python23.dll. I'm trying to expose some c++ code in my app to Python so I can make application calls from Python scripts (according to the Python windows FAQ I shouldn't have to make a seperate dll, see link below). I create a MyModule.i file for swig which contains a simple test c++ class. I run swig on it with the following options: swig -python -c++ -includeall -shadow MyModule.i,...

Hi, I´m looking for some benchmarks comparing SWIG generated modules with modules made directly with C/Python API. Just how much overhead does SWIG give? Doing profile of my code I see, that it spends quiet some time in functions like _swig_setattr_nondinamic, _swig_setattr, _swig_getattr.

Hello, I spent almost a week to be able to embed Python within my C++ game engine. I wrote a mini-tutorial of what I was able to do so far here : http://forums.indiegamer.com/showpost.php?p=169352&postcount=9 At the end of my tutorial, I wrote : "You can do the same with C++ classes, and with structures within structures. Swig can parse & wrap most C/C++ declarations."

I have a bit of a odd arrangement here with SWIG, Python, Embedded Python and C++ classes exported into Python. Here's the plot: I have a class defined in a C++ DLL library. I am wrapping this class (we'll call it "Peter") with SWIG so some of its base functionality is available in Python. For the sake of this example, Peter has a method called get_type(), that takes no arguments and returns an integer. This all works, and within my...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
