I'm attempting to wrap the GNU MP mpf_t type and related functions, as I
need the extra precision and speed for a package I'm writing. The available
wrappers are either unmaintained or undocumented and incompatible with
Python 3000. Following the docs in the Python 3000 section of the website,
I've started off with this:
*mpfmodule.c*
#include <Python.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <gmp.h>
typedef struct {
PyObject_HEAD
mpf_t ob_val;
} MPFObject;
static PyTypeObject MPFType = {
PyObject_HEAD_INIT(NULL)
0, /*ob_size*/
"mpf.MPF", /*tp_name*/
sizeof(MPFObject), /*tp_basicsize*/
0, /*tp_itemsize*/
0, /*tp_dealloc*/
0, /*tp_print*/
0, /*tp_getattr*/
0, /*tp_setattr*/
0, /*tp_compare*/
0, /*tp_repr*/
0, /*tp_as_number*/
0, /*tp_as_sequence*/
0, /*tp_as_mapping*/
0, /*tp_hash */
0, /*tp_call*/
0, /*tp_str*/
0, /*tp_getattro*/
0, /*tp_setattro*/
0, /*tp_as_buffer*/
Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT, /*tp_flags*/
"GNU MP mpf_t objects", /* tp_doc */
};
static PyMethodDef mpf_methods[] = {
{NULL}
};
#ifndef PyMODINIT_FUNC
#define PyMODINIT_FUNC void
#endif
PyMODINIT_FUNC initmpf(void) {
PyObject* m;
MPFType.tp_new = PyType_GenericNew;
if (PyType_Ready(&MPFType) < 0)
return;
m = Py_InitModule3("mpf", mpf_methods,
"Wrapper around GNU MP mpf_t and related methods");
Py_INCREF(&MPFType);
PyModule_AddObject(m, "MPF", (PyObject *) &MPFType);
}
Upon running my setup.py script, it gives me numerous warnings. These do not
occur if I attempt to use Python 2.5. It also works fine under Python 2.5.

>>> import mpf
>>> test = mpf.MPF()
Traceback (most recent call last):

Pointers as to what has changed and what I need to do to compile an
extension for Py3k would be very much appreciated. Thank you all in advance
for your time.
