Hi!
I have a C module for which I created a wrapper with swig. The function def is:
C:
int some_thing(unsigned char * the_str);
eg:
Python:
some_module.some_thing (the_str)
Now I would like to feed it with a UTF-8 formatted string:
test = u'Make \u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645, not war.'
`test´ is not a UTF-8 encoded string. It's a unicode string.
To get a UTF-8 encoded string from a unicode string, use the `encode´
method:
some_module.some_thing(test.encode('utf-8'))
