ctypes

[jay thompson]

My apologies! I worte the email while doing 3 other things.

I haven't really tried anything to access this struct other than trying to
find different elements with ctypes.c_int.in_dll(dll, 'symbol') and access
the elements in the same way I do in C. I didn't think either of these would
work but hoped I would get some type of return that would give me a little
more info.

I have been using a cli to access the library from python and would just
send the image data via stdin and the parameters of the struct as command
line args. From C the struct is easily accessible through the class instance
(libraw::imgdata) and I tried similar variations with ctypes but just get
'function not found'. Makes sense though.

this works:

lr = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary(libraw)

handle = lr.libraw_init(0)

lr.libraw_open_buffer(handle, buf, len(buf)) # buf is an image read by
python
lr.libraw_unpack(handle, buf, len(buf))

# imgdata attampt. returns  "function 'imgdata' not found"
#lr.imgdata.params.bright(2)

lr.libraw_dcraw_process(handle)
lr.libraw_dcraw_ppm_tiff_writer(handle,'test.ppm')
lr.libraw_close(handle)



These are the 'exposed' functions, if that is the right term, and will
produce an rgb image. There are a few other functions but they are not
important atm.

I know I don't know what I'm doing with this but it will be worth it if I
can struggle through. Is there a way I can access this struct via python?
Alternatively I could also write a new function in libraw that can access
this struct and be exposed to ctypes.
