Greetings,
I'm trying to wrap a function in a C library as a compiled C Python
module. Everything is going great, but I've hit a snag. There's a
function in the form of this:
First the typedef:
typedef void(*FPtr_DeviceMessageHandler) (const DeviceMessage, const
char*);
Then the actual function prototype:
FPtr_DeviceMessageHandler
RegisterDeviceMessageHandler(FPtr_DeviceMessageHandler);
[...]
[I] can't figure out how to cast the function reference from Python into
something the C RegisterDevice... function can handle.
Mere casting won't do the trick. The function reference from Python is
basically just an object that contains byte-code to be executed by the
Python Virtual Machine. There is no way you can magically transform that
into a C function by casting the Python object pointer to anything.
You'll need a write a C function that will call a given Python function,
and then you need to supply the pointer to that C function as your
DeviceMessageHandler callback function, and somehow communicate to your
C function which Python function it should call.
Good luck.
