Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't looked at PyCXX yet. I'll definitely check it out sometime. In light of your and other people's replies, I probably will postpone the development till I think it through, especially after another day of trying and failing.
I do have one question for you, and for anyone who is kind enough to read this: how can I know if a PyObject_Call(...) or PyObject_GetAttr(...) returns a new ref or a borrowed ref? I read online ( Python 3 ) that they are returning new references. But does everyone comply with it? If so, it seems safe for me to capture the return PyObject* into a wrapper class that automatically Py_DECREF() upon destruction. But if not, what documentations should I refer to for the behavior of a specific python module ( for example, matplotlib )? This is the first time I ever checked out the Python C API, I guess I'm in need of some conventions here. Your input is much appreciated. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/CFYYKFBEBEVOPDQPKEGNF7XDDL5AZEG5/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
