That was Jeroen's 2nd problem; I was addressing his first problem
(thinking that introducing a temp variable would work some magic).
Google is your friend:
"""
class vec2d(ctypes.Structure):
"""2d vector class, supports vector and scalar operators,
and also provides a bunch of high level functions
"""
__slots__ = ['x', 'y']
def __init__(self, x_or_pair, y = None):
if y == None:
self.x = x_or_pair[0]
self.y = x_or_pair[1]
else:
self.x = x_or_pair
self.y = y
