Hi,
what am I doing wrong?
C code:
static PyObject *is_prime(PyObject *self, PyObject *value) { if (!PyInt_Check(value)) { PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "only integers are acceptable"); return NULL; }
Test (I'm using integer 3):
primes.is_prime(3) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: only integers are acceptable
Thanks

The second argument ('value', in your code) is actually a tuple containing the arguments passed to your is_prime() function. You'll need to unpack the individual values from that tuple.

But after unpacking, I still cannot detect no-integer type object.
from primes import is_prime is_prime(7) True is_prime(5.5) # should raise exception, but is rounded as 5 __main__:1: DeprecationWarning: integer argument expected, got float True is_prime(9.8) # should raise exception, but is rounded as 9 False
================================= static PyObject *is_prime(PyObject *self, PyObject *arg) { PyObject *value; if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(arg, "O", value)) return NULL;

int result = is_prime_solve(number);

You should consider giving Cython a try, where the above spells
cdef extern from "yourcode.h":
bint is_prime_solve(int number)
def is_prime(int number):
"""
>>> is_prime(7)
True
"""
return is_prime_solve(number)
It will raise a TypeError for you if a user passes something that can't coerce to an int, or an OverflowError for something that is too large for a C int. However, note that coercion to a C int means calling int() in Python, which also works for float values. If you *really* want to prevent non-int values, you can do this:
def is_prime(number):
if not isinstance(number, int):
raise TypeError("please pass an int")
return is_prime_solve(number)

Shouldn't that be "&value"?

You are right, thank you very much.
