Re: ctypes shared object FILE*

On 11/8/08, Dog Walker <th*****@gmail. comwrote:
I need to call a function in a shared object with this signature:
init_dialog(FIL E *input, FILE *output)
The FILE*'s are to stdin and stdout.

The call from python is libdialog.init_ dialog( x, y)
I need to define x and y so that they will have the structure of
sys.stdin and sys.stdout; the called function (init_dialog) is using a
(std?) function fileno to extract the fileno from the FILE* describing
stdin and stdout.
How can I do this?
I should have said "stderr" rather than "stdout".

And the answer is:

from ctypes import *
from ctypes.util import find_library
libc = CDLL(find_libra ry("c"))
libdialog = CDLL(find_libra ry("dialog"))
class FILE(Structure) : pass

libdialog.init_ dialog(POINTER( FILE).in_dll(li bc, "stdin"),
POINTER(FILE).i n_dll(libc, "stderr"))

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