Hi everyone. I'm new to SWIG, and I'm trying to wrap a C library for
Python.
I have a function that is declared similarly to this:
double *foo(int x);
The function returns a pointer to an array of 7 double values. I want
to return a 7-tuple to Python. I've been trying variations of the

Hi,
Is it true that that "Python 3000" is dead ?
Honestly I think that e.g. changing 5/2 to be 2.5 (instead of 2) would
just break to much code :-(
On the otherhand I'm using Python as "Matlab replacement" and would
generally like 5/2 ==2.5
So, I was contemplating to default all my modules/script
