New submission from Memeplex: This real life example is pretty terrible:
(ct.c_float * self._nfeats).from_address( ct.addressof(self._vals.contents)) The alternative of casting the pointer to pointer-to-array, then pick ptr.contents is not really better. What about a from_pointer(ptr) method? Or overloading from_address to take a pointer? Or a simple shortcut to get the address pointed to by a pointer (related: https://bugs.python.org/issue26565). I think this part of ctypes api needs to get more concise and pythonic. ---------- components: ctypes messages: 267951 nosy: memeplex priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: [ctypes] Allow from_pointer creation type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27274> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
