I have a simple question. I want to access python dictionary data type from
C extension module.
---- spam.c ----
#include <Python.h>
PyObject *wrap_clear(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) {
int count;
PyObject *dict;
PyObject *newdict;
newdict = PyDict_New(); // newdict is created in C module
if (!PyArg_Parse(args, "O", &PyDict_Type, &dict)) {
return NULL;
}
if (PyDict_Check(newdict)) { // newdict is a dictionary
printf("newdict is ok\n");
} else {
printf("newdict is not ok\n");
}
if (PyDict_Check(dict)) { // dict is from python
printf("dict is ok\n");
} else {
printf("dict is not ok\n");
}
return Py_BuildValue("i", 0);
}
static PyMethodDef spamMethods[] = {
{"clear", wrap_clear, 1 },
{ NULL, NULL }
};
void initspam() {
PyObject *m;
m = Py_InitModule("spam", spamMethods);
}
