This is insanely cool and produced some dropped jaws among some
IDL and Matlab fans around here.

The question is, what I am doing wrong here (or is it allowed at all)?

############ simple test code ##################
from PyInline import C

x = C.Builder(code="""
PyObject* test_pyobj(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) {
  int t;
  if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "i", &t))
        return NULL;
  return Py_BuildValue("i", t*2) ;
}

""")

# 2. Build the module. build() returns a new module object.
m = x.build()

# 3. Call a method in the newly built module.
print m.test_pyobj(3)
print m.test_pyobj("ha") # should bomb

#########################################################

Running the code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_inline.py", line 21, in ?
    print m.test_pyobj(3)
SystemError: new style getargs format but argument is not a tuple

Thanks!



BTW, may I look forward to C++ support? blitz
