since ParseTuple writes an integer to the address you pass in, that's likely to overwrite some random stuff on the stack. like- wise, passing in a character buffer where ParseTuple expects a pointer to a char pointer isn't going to work either (but that only writes garbage into the buffer). > Anyways, I tried making the changes, similar results. post the new code and the output it's giving you. > BTW, it doesn't give me one single warning, so I don't think it's a > casting problem... the C compiler doesn't understand the ParseTuple format string, so that doesn't mean anything. it's up to you to make sure that the format specifiers and the pointers you pass in match. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
