Have you tried a PyCObject? This is pretty much what they're for: http://www.python.org/doc/1.5.2/api/cObjects.html And yes, they're still around today: http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/api/cObjects.html (with an extra PyCObject_SetVoidPtr API added in in 2.4). _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
