That was my first idea, because I can verify the instance of PyUnraw is
not destroyed when I use the file name, but I was in trouble by the
usage of the file name in string formatting.
For example I can use the file name into the slot i.e.
shutil.copy(fname, "path/renamed.tiff")
The file is correctly copied.
In fact, I can do anything with the file name except use it in string
formatting, then your approach is probably a good way.
Into the CPython part I have a c-string pythonized by:
temp = self->outfname;
self->outfname = PyUnicode_FromString(ofname);
Py_XDECREF(temp);
and exposed to Python with:
static PyMemberDef PyUnraw_members[] = {
{"out_file", T_OBJECT_EX, offsetof(PyUnraw, outfname), 0,
"Path of the decoded file"},
