I am creating a ctypes buffer from an existing non-ctypes object that
supports buffer protocol using the following code:
from ctypes import *
PyObject_AsReadBuffer = pythonapi.PyObject_AsReadBuffer
PyObject_AsReadBuffer.argtypes =
[py_object,POINTER(c_void_p),POINTER(c_size_t)]
PyObject_AsReadBuffer.restype = None
def ctypes_buffer_from_buffer(buf):
cbuf = c_void_p()
size = c_size_t()
PyObject_AsReadBuffer(buf,byref(cbuf),byref(size))
return cbuf
It works, but is there a standard way to do this in ctypes? I
couldn't find anything in the documentation. Python 2.6 for now.
Thanks.
