Hi all I understand that I can't hope to pass a FILE* from the Windows version of Python into a SWIG module that I've built using MinGW gcc/g+ +, because apparently the FILE* structure are different and incompatible.
Is there an official workaround for this? Presumably I need to implement a mingw-compatible version of all the 'file' class in Python, eg import mingw import myswigmodule F1 = mingw.file("newfile.txt","rw") F1.write("somestuff") F1.seek(0) F2 = mingw.tmpfile() myswigmodule.dosomething(F1,F2) F2.seek(0) print F2.read() Has anyone done this? Is there a better way that doesn't require users of my module to adapt? Do I have to use the dreaded MSVS to compile my SWIG module? Cheers JP -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
