Dear all, openbabel.py provides an interface to use python scripts to call C/C++ functions of open babel, in which C built-in datatypes are mapped into the closest Python equivalent. for example: int, long, short <---> Python integers. float, double <---> Python floats char, char * <---> Python strings. However, if a C++ function returns a variable with other datatypes, for example: std:string, How can we deal with that? Below is an example:
>>import openbabel as ob >>pat=ob.OBSmartsPatten() >>pat.Init('c1ccccc1') >>pat_str=pat.GetSMARTS() >>print pat_str Since the function GetSMARTS() returns a std::string, the printed result is not "c1ccccc1", but a swig object like sth below: "_20748c03_p_std__string" >>pat_str <Swig Object of type 'std::string *' at 0x03957AD0> Does anyone know how to deal with this problem? 2011-09-26 ------------------------------------------------ Mingyue Zheng, Ph.D. Drug Discovery and Design Center (DDDC) Box 1201, Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica.
