[capi-sig] Extension Problem

[Ali Alhakim]

Thank you Mark. That is exactly what my problem was.If the example included parsed integer and/or float (double) variables it would be much desriptive

Thank you Anthony and Joe. I thought that all arguments
should be passed into pointers.
 
By passing the address of a double, you *are* passing a pointer.
 
The introductary example in
the python reference documentation about Python extension
confused me. I hope that the mentioned example will be
changed to something simpler.
 
Which specific example did you find confusing?  I'm guessing the 'spam'
example at http://docs.python.org/ext/simpleExample.html, as it does:
 
    const char *command;
    int sts;
 
    if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "s", &command))
        return NULL;
 
and strings are somewhat "special", in that a pointer is the "native" type
of a string, so a pointer to a pointer is indeed what is passed.  If that
example also parsed an integer it might have made things a little clearer..
 
Cheers,
 
Mark
