[SciPy-user] Need very simple example showing how to return numpy array from C/C++ function

[Matthieu Brucher]

To make your .i work, you have two things to do :
- first initialize numpy :
%{
#define SWIG_FILE_WITH_INIT
%}
%include "numpy.i"
%init %{
import_array();
%}

Then result (which is $1 in the typemap) is in fact a wrapper around the
vector, and to get it, you have to dereference it, so the typemap becomes :
%typemap(out) std::vector<double> {
    int length = $1.size();
    $result = PyArray_FromDims(1, &length, PyArray_DOUBLE);
    memcpy(PyArray_DATA($result),&((*(&$1))[0]),sizeof(double)*length);
}

I think I will add this one to my blog, if nobody minds.
