What's the right way to make a new numpy array that's a copy of some C data? There doesn't seem to be any API like PyArray_NewFromDescr that /copies/ the void*data pointer for you. Do I have to write my own loops for this? I can do that, it just seems like it should be a library function already, so I'm guessing I'm just overlooking it. There seem to be lots of APIs that will wrap pre-existing memory, but the ones that allocate for you do not seem to copy. A related question -- I'm only trying to copy in order to save myself a little hassle regarding how to clean up the allocated chunks. If there's some simple way to trigger a particular deallocation function to be called at the right time, then that would be the ideal, really. Does that exist? Thanks! --bb
