How to receive ArrayList of PyObjects via PyCallable

[Christoph Antes]

Hello everyone,

i have the following problem: 

I would like to get a list of Python objects which are provided by a Python method. This method is called in Java via a PyCallable. However, it seems that I only get back an ArrayList of strings, but not of the type PyObject. Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong here? :)

Example Code:

ArrayList<PyObject> list = function.callAs(ArrayList.class);

System.out.println(list.getClass());

System.out.println(list.get(0).getClass());

Output:

class java.util.ArrayList

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class jep.python.PyObject

Best regards

Chris

I suspect you are getting bitten by a known issue that causes python objects to be converted to strings. We have actually corrected that issue on the dev_4.0 branch in github so you may want to try out that branch and see if it solves your problem. If it does solve your problem then let us know.

Hi, Ben,
with dev_4.0 it now works fine. Thanks!
