Hi all,
This might be a newbie question. I am trying to implement a simple
string decoder/encoder algorithm. Just suppose I am substrcating some
values from the string passed as a parameter to the function and I
want the function to return encoded/decoded version of the string.
Here is the call:
ss= esauth.penc('s')
st = esauth.pdec(ss)
static PyObject *
pdec(PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
unsigned char *s= NULL;
unsigned int v,len,i = 0;
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "s", &s))
return NULL;
if (!s)
return NULL;
len = strlen(s);
for(i=0;i<len;i++) {
if (s[i] > 10)
s[i] = s[i] - 10;
}
return Py_BuildValue("s",s);
}
This is returning the original string. I mean the parameter is changed
but the Py_BuildValue is returning the original string passed in as
param.
have dealt with another nmore complex extension and because of the
same string handling problems, I just stop implementing it. Can
somebody please briefly explain the gotchas in Python's string
handling and returning values, cause I am having real trouble with
them.
Thanks,
