Well, this at least appears to work - probably not the most efficient approach
-
calls the RandomState object via the python interface to get 4 bytes at a time:
int test1 (bp::object & rs) {
bp::str bytes = call_method<bp::str> (rs.ptr(), "bytes", 4); // get 4 bytes
return *reinterpret_cast<int*> (PyString_AS_STRING (bytes.ptr()));
}
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE (numpy_rand) {
boost::numpy::initialize();
def ("test1", &test1);
}
