Hi all,
CFFI 0.7, the alternative C Foreign Function Interface, has been
released on PyPI. It can be "pip installed" for CPython. It is also
included with the just-released PyPy 2.1.
http://cffi.readthedocs.org/
The main news (and only user-visible new feature) is
"ffi.new_handle(x)", which returns a "void *" corresponding to the
arbitrary Python object "x". It can be passed around C code and later
retrieved with ffi.from_handle(). See the corresponding paragraph of
https://cffi.readthedocs.org/en/release-0.7/ about the lifetime of the
"void *".
Apart from that, there are a number of bugfixes (enums on Windows and
on ARM, some Win64 support, support for writing "short unsigned" or
"unsigned short", leaks of cycles involving cffi callbacks, ...).
A bientôt,
Armin.
