What is the Python equivalent to the .NET 'char' and 'byte' types ? I need to pass in an array of bytes to a .NET constructor and when I attempted to pass in a list of strings of single characters, it failed. Is there a way of doing this in PythonDotNet ?
Hi Edward - A Python string object or unicode object should convert to char[] automatically. Right now, the Byte converter expects to convert an int rather than a string, so a workaround might be to convert your list of strings to a list of ints to pass to the constructor: stuff = ['s', 't', 'u', 'f', 'f'] asint = map(ord, stuff) # pass asint to the constructor Hope this helps - I'll add a tracker issue that the converter should probably be smart enough to convert a string to a byte array by itself...
