When creating an object from a PyObject *, how do you distinguish between a PyObject pointer that is a new reference (must not be increfed, but must be decrefed) versus a PyObject * that is a borrowed reference? (should be increfed and decrefed)
A very simple question for which there is no documented answer, conflicting answers in the archives of this mailing list, and hours of googling has turned up conflicting information. The best I could find was object(borrowed(ptr)) for new references and object(handle<>(ptr)) for borrowed pointers. I'm not sure if that is accurate, but if so that deserves a nomination for a terrible interface award. Please someone put me out of my misery. What's the interface for this? -Dan _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
