[Numpy-discussion] Long double in Python with Numpy

Hi,

I have a C library using "long double" numbers. With SWIG, I am able to use 
this library in Python. I use the PyArray_FromDims function in the 
SWIG "interface" file.

But sometimes, I only need one long double : it's not very convenient to 
create an array for only one number...

In Python there is "numpy.longdouble". Did you know how to create this object  
in C in the SWIG "interface" file ? (maybe the PyLongDoubleScalarObject 
structure ?)

Thank you

Charles
