Hello Gang, I am fresh to this list so, hello gang!

I have the need for a universal setter function to set objects. The documentation suggests that there is a way to use a void pointer to define object data for comparison. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any examples on how to do this.

This snippet only works with the last attribute of the object -->

static int Noddy_setlast(Noddy *self, PyObject *value, void *closure) { if (value == NULL) { PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "Cannot delete the last attribute"); return -1; } if (! PyString_Check(value)) { PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "The last attribute value must be a string"); return -1; } Py_DECREF(self->last); Py_INCREF(value); self->last = value; return 0; }

Is there any examples of a universal setter function for PyGetSetDef that would check a attribute type with the 3 argument in Noddy_setlast? Thank you.

*From the docs* [http://docs.python.org/extending/newtypes.html]

The getter function is passed a Noddy object and a “closure”, which is void pointer. In this case, the closure is ignored. (The closure supports an advanced usage in which definition data is passed to the getter and setter. This could, for example, be used to allow a single set of getter and setter functions that decide the attribute to get or set based on data in the closure.)
