Dear All,
I have some question regarding embedding and exposing of C pointers.
We have embedded python and extended to expose our APIs and c objects to
python.
Every thing is working fine as far as customizing our application
through python.
How ever i am expecting following behavior but it failed. Can some oe
suggest a work around!!
Here is my python code
import myModule
a=myModule.myAPI1("1")
b=myModule.myAPI2("name")
# basically both above functions return same C pointer.
# so i want to compare
if(a==b): print "They are same"
else : print "They are different"
python always prints they are different,
I guess this is because in python layer we create PythonCObject for
every C pointer, and that is how it is exposed to python. Though both
the APIs are returning the same C pointer, they are different instances
of PythonCObject.
So i guess that is the reason comparison is failing.
How ever is it possible to make python to compare actual C pointer,
rather than the PythonCObject Pointer.
Can some one please suggest
Regards,
Anand
