Hi, whlie accessing SetTimeStamp() in the Python API, I found that the parameter type was not understood by the swig-bound code as integer type. So these functions can not be used out of the box with resulting error messages such as the following:
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pcbnew.py", line 1257, in SetTimeStamp return _pcbnew.EDA_ITEM_SetTimeStamp(self, aNewTimeStamp) TypeError: in method 'EDA_ITEM_SetTimeStamp', argument 2 of type 'time_t' The following will make it work, but I have no idea if this is the "correct" way to do this with swig, or if there should be a %typemap version of it. So I leave this here for someone knowledgeable in swig bindings to do it properly: -------------------------------------8<---------------- --- a/pcbnew/swig/typeinfo.i +++ b/pcbnew/swig/typeinfo.i @@ -29,6 +29,9 @@ #include <core/typeinfo.h> %} +// Set/GetTimeStamp() uses time_t +typedef long time_t; + // methods like CONNECTIVITY_DATA::GetNetItems take an array of KICAD_T values, ------------------------>8------------------------------- Thanks, Henner. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
