Hi, I have an extension in which a file object is created in python and passed down to a c extension which attempts to read from it or write to it. Writing to the file pointer seems to work okay, but reading from it results in EBADF. It also causes python to crash on exit.
I've attached the minimal (I think) c code, python code, build script, build log, and run log. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I keep getting bounced when I attach them. ### file:my_module.c ------------------------------------------------- #include <Python.h> #define MAXLEN 128 int my_read(char *buffer, int max, FILE *fp) { int n = 0; fprintf (stdout, "[c] pre-read: errno=%d, fp=%x\n", errno, fp); n = fread(buffer, 1, max, fp); fprintf (stdout, "[c] post-write: errno=%d, fp=%x, count=%d, data='%s'\n", errno, fp, n, buffer); return n; } int my_write(const char *buffer, FILE *fp) { int n = 0; fprintf (stdout, "[c] pre-write: errno=%d, fp=%x, data='%s'\n", errno, fp, buffer); n = fprintf(fp, "%s", buffer); fprintf (stdout, "[c] post-write: errno=%d, fp=%x, count=%d\n", errno, fp, n); return n; } static PyObject * my_module_my_read(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { char buffer[MAXLEN]; int count = 0; FILE *fp = NULL; PyObject* py_file = NULL; memset((void*)&(buffer),0,sizeof(char)*MAXLEN); if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "O", &py_file)) return NULL; if (PyFile_Check(py_file)) { count = my_read((char*)&(buffer), MAXLEN, PyFile_AsFile(py_file)); return Py_BuildValue("(is)", count, (char*)buffer); } return NULL; } static PyObject * my_module_my_write(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { char buffer[MAXLEN]; int count = 0; FILE *fp = NULL; PyObject* py_file = NULL; const char* py_string; memset((void*)&(buffer),0,sizeof(char)*MAXLEN); if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "sO", &py_string, &py_file)) return NULL; if ((PyFile_Check(py_file)) && (py_string != NULL)) { count = my_write(py_string, PyFile_AsFile(py_file)); return Py_BuildValue("i", count); } return NULL; } static PyMethodDef MyModuleMethods[] = { {"my_read", my_module_my_read, METH_VARARGS, "read at most 128 bytes from a file"}, {"my_write", my_module_my_write, METH_VARARGS, "write a string to a file"}, {NULL,NULL,0,NULL} }; PyMODINIT_FUNC initmy_module(void) { PyObject *m; m = Py_InitModule("my_module", MyModuleMethods); } ### file: my_module.py ------------------------------------------------ import my_module filename = "hello.txt" fp1 = open(filename, "wb") print "[py] pre-write: fp=%s" % (fp1) result1 = my_module.my_write("Hello, World!", fp1) print "[py] result=", result1 fp1.close() fp2 = open(filename, "rb") print "[py] pre-read: fp=%s" % (fp2) result2 = my_module.my_read(fp2) print "[py] result=", result2 #fp2.close() # crashes python here EBADF when fp2.close() is called print "done" # crashes python here when fp2.close() is commented out ### file: Sconstruct -------------------------------------------------- env = Environment() import os python_include_path = os.path.join(os.path.sep,'Python24','include') python_lib_path = os.path.join(os.path.sep,'Python24','libs') python_libs = 'python24' my_module_name = 'my_module' my_module_sources = 'my_module.c' library = env.SharedLibrary(my_module_name, my_module_sources, CPPPATH=[python_include_path], LIBPATH=[python_lib_path], LIBS=[python_libs]) ### file: build.log --------------------------------------------------- scons: Reading SConscript files ... scons: done reading SConscript files. scons: Building targets ... cl /nologo /I\Python24\include /c my_module.c /Fomy_module.obj my_module.c link /nologo /dll /out:my_module.dll /implib:my_module.lib /LIBPATH:\Python24\libs python24.lib my_module.obj Creating library my_module.lib and object my_module.exp scons: done building targets. ### file: run.log ----------------------------------------------------- [py] pre-write: fp=<open file 'hello.txt', mode 'wb' at 0x009B54A0> [c] pre-write: errno=0, fp=7c38b548, data='Hello, World!'
