Hello,
I am new to Python programming. So, kindly excuse me if I don't use
correct terminology here below.
I am trying to write an extension function that returns an array of
bytes as shown in the example below:
static PyObject* GetByteBuffer(PyObject* self, PyObject* args)
{
char byteBuffer[100];
// do something to fill byteBuffer with values.
return Py_BuildValue("y", byteBuffer);
}
Is this valid? I get a run time error in Python 2.5 (actually 2.6) and
Python 3.0 returns null terminated byte string.
My byte buffer may contain one or more zeros and I want is the entire
buffer regardless of its contents. How do I do it?
Thanks,
Eknath
P.S: I know that 2.6 & 3.0 are not meant for a newcomers like me.
Unfortunately 2.5.2 and older for windows are built using MSCVC 6.0
and they pose problems building extensions.
