The code is given below. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you're trying to use numpy and standard pythons types, you might want to look into ctypes which allows you to write C extensions that pass arrays in a much easier way. I was into writing "bare" C extensions from the ground up like you when someone put me onto ctypes. MUCH easier and cleaner and, as a result, easier to debug. I recommend it. -- Lou Pecora, my views are my own.
