It seems like there's no reason to need to get the pointer value out as a Python integer. If you are trying to get a pointer from a memoryview into some C code, or into some LLVM generated code, you still need to do the Python int object → C integer-of-some-kind → C pointer type conversion. Better to just go straight from Python memoryview object → C pointer in one supported API call. Isn't this what the y* w* s* format codes are for? Every time I have something that's a big number and I need to turn it into a pointer, I have to stare at the table in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64_bit#64-bit_data_models> for like 30 seconds. I'd rather have some Python API do the staring for me. David, I realize that table is probably permanently visible in the heads-up display that your cybernetic implants afford you, but some of us need to make our way through C code with humbler faculties ;-). -g _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
