I understand that I can't hope to pass a FILE* from the Windows
version of Python into a SWIG module that I've built using MinGW gcc/g+
+, because apparently the FILE* structure are different and
incompatible.
Is there an official workaround for this? Presumably I need to
implement a mingw-compatible version of all the 'file' class in
Python, eg
import mingw
import myswigmodule
F1 = mingw.file("newfile.txt","rw")
F1.write("somestuff")
F1.seek(0)
F2 = mingw.tmpfile()
myswigmodule.dosomething(F1,F2)
F2.seek(0)
print F2.read()
Has anyone done this? Is there a better way that doesn't require users
of my module to adapt? Do I have to use the dreaded MSVS to compile my
SWIG module?
Cheers
JP
I'm not familiar with SWIG, but why not pass Python's own file class?
Method calls on Python's file class will be dispatched to C code in
the Python interpreter and so will use the C runtime that Python was
linked with.

Can you get the file descriptor from the FILE *, and use that?
