Hi, I'm writing some buffer-centric number-crunching routines in C for Python code that uses array.array objects for storing/manipulating data. I would like to:
1. allocate a buffer of a certain size 2. fill it 3. return it as an array. I can't see any obvious way to do this with the array module, but I was hoping somebody here might be able to help. My best shot would be to: 1. create a bytearray with PyByteArray_FromStringAndSize(NULL, byte_len) 2. fill its buffer 3. initialize an array from the bytearray. The issue I have with this approach is that array will copy the data to its own buffer. I'd much rather create an array of a certain size, get a write buffer, and fill it directly -- is that possible? I expect that numpy allows this, but I don't really want to depend on numpy, especially as they haven't released a py3k version yet. -- Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
