I'd like to be able to use PyArg_ParseTuple() in a generic way. for example, i'd like to have all commands start with 1 integer parameter, and this "commandID" will inform me of what parameters come next (via LUT).
knowing that i can then call ParseTuple again with the proper parameters. like this: if (PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "i|", &commandID)) { switch (commandID) { case cmd_with_str: { const char *strZ = NULL; if (PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "is", &commandID, &strZ)) { // do something with string } break; } case cmd_with_float: { float valF = -1; if (PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "if", &commandID, &valF)) { // do something with float } break; } } } is there a way to achieve this? the "i|" at the start is not working -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
