Hi all, I'm writing an extension module that uses PyArrayObjects, and I want to be able to tell if an array passed in is contiguous. I know that I can use PyArray_ContiguousFromObject, and it will just return a reference to the same array if it is contiguous, but I want to know whether or not a new array has been created. I realize that most of the time it doesn't matter, but in this case I am chaning the array in place, and need to pass it to another function that is expecting a standard C array, so I need to make sure the user has passed in a contiguous array. I was surprised to not find a "PyArray_Contiguous" function, or something like it. I see that there is a field in PyArrayObject (int flags) that has a bit indicating whether a field is contiguous, but being a newbe to C as well, I'm not sure how to get at it. I'd love a handy utility function, but if one doesn't exist, can someone send me the code I need to check that bit? thanks, -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. cbarker@jps.net --- --- --- http://www.jps.net/cbarker -----@@ -----@@ -----@@ ------@@@ ------@@@ ------@@@ Water Resources Engineering ------ @ ------ @ ------ @ Coastal and Fluvial Hydrodynamics ------- --------- -------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
