[Matrix-SIG] returning arrays part 2

[Paul F. Dubois]

For some reason I only answered half your question. As regards the input:

You do a normal PyTuple_Parse with code "O". That gives you a PyObject
*pobj; Then:
PyArray *pin;
double* din;
pin = PyArray_ContiguousFromObject(pobj, PyArray_DOUBLE, 1, 1);
if(!pin) {error....}
din = pin->din;

The contiguous call makes sure that:
a. the object given can be converted into an array of the desired type and
dimension
b. the data area din is a contiguous field in row-major order.
c. if the input data was all that, pin will just be pobj with an incremented
refcount.

When done with din you should decref pin.
