Hi, What is the C API to make an array that got allocated, let's say, by a = new short[512*512], accessible to python as numarray.

What you want to do is not currently supported well in C. The way to do what you want is: 1. Create a buffer object from your C++ array. The buffer object can be built such that it refers to the original copy of the data. 2. Call back into Python (numarray.NumArray) with your buffer object as the buffer parameter. You can scavenge the code in NA_newAll (Src/newarray.ch) for most of the callback.

I tried NA_New - but that seems to make a copy. I would need it to use the original memory space so that I can "observe" the array from Python WHILE the underlying C array changes (it's actually a camera image)

That sounds cool!

Thanks, Sebastian Haase
