Python C Object Comparison

[Anand K Rayudu]

Dear All,

I have some question regarding embedding and exposing of C pointers.

We have embedded python and extended to expose our APIs and c objects to 
python.
Every thing is working fine as far as customizing our application 
through python.

How ever i am expecting following behavior but it failed. Can some oe 
suggest a work around!!

Here is my python code

import myModule

a=myModule.myAPI1("1")
b=myModule.myAPI2("name")

# basically both above functions return same C pointer.
# so i want to compare
if(a==b): print "They are same"
else : print "They are different"

python always prints they are different,
I guess this is because in python layer we create PythonCObject for 
every C pointer, and that is how it is exposed to python. Though both 
the APIs are returning the same C pointer, they are different instances 
of PythonCObject.
So i guess that is the reason comparison is failing.
How ever is it possible to make python to compare actual C pointer, 
rather than the PythonCObject Pointer.

Can some one please suggest

Regards,
Anand
