The subject function takes a GncOwner as an argument, modifies it and returns the result through the argument. It's not clear how to create a Swig INOUT map for a non-primitive type. So, I wrote a wrapper to return the result in a normal way and indicate an error with a NULL return. The wrapper allocates the owner with gncOwnerNew() and returns a Python object of type GncOwner.
However, I need an object of type Customer, Job,... based on the owner type. So, on the Python side, I get the type from the instance and create an object of the correct type such as Vendor via Vendor(instance=instance). This works and I'm able to extract the vendor address and other data I need. It's not clear how to free the owner object allocated by the wrapper. A call to gncOwnerFree fails in the IN typemap because the Swig pointer type didn't match one of the 4 alternatives. I added a SWIG_ConvertPtr() for GncOwner, but got the same "couldn't convert" message. It's not clear how to inspect the Swig pointer type to see why it's complaining. This all seems overly complicated. Is there a better approach? Also, any advice on how to not leak GncOwner.
