[C++-sig] Newbie : fastest way of sending floats

[Benjamin Golinvaux]

hello
 
i have joined this list because i need to wrap a big c++ library and i
plan
to use boost.
 
i'm just at the very very beginning right now. 
i need to wrap a c++ function that takes an array a point coordinates
on the python side, they are built that way :
 
myList = [ [ 12.23 , 34.34 ] , [ 16.534, 34.8643] , ....    ]
 
right now, i wrap this function :
 
void testObject(const boost::python::object& obj)
{
	boost::python::list list(obj);
	double x,y;
	for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i )
	{
		x =
PyFloat_AS_DOUBLE(boost::python::object(list[i][0]).ptr());
		y =
PyFloat_AS_DOUBLE(boost::python::object(list[i][1]).ptr());
		_RPT3(_CRT_WARN,"point %d = (%f,%f)\n",i,x,y);
	}
}

And it somehow works

I understand this really looks like horrible code, but these are just
very very very early tests :)

Could you please point me to some information on how to make this
cleaner...

I am not looking for the cleanest code, but for the FASTEST way to pass
the array of floats. I am willing to use the raw C api if needed.

Thanks 

Best,

Benjamin Golinvaux
