Accessing C nested structs in Python after interfacing with SWIG
Preface:
I have two header files: "Sample.h" and "Sample2.h". Here are the contents of the two headers:
- "Sample.h" has:
#include "Sample2.h"
typedef struct {
int c;
sJustFloats sJf;
}sTest;
- "Sample2.h" has:
typedef st开发者_运维技巧ruct {
float a;
float b;
}sJustFloats;
- Sample.c just has:
#include "Sample.h"
- My SWIG interface file has:
%module Sample
%{
/* Put header files here or function declarations like below */
#include "Sample.h"
%}
%include "Sample.h"
%apply float {float a}; // For sJustFloats.a
%apply float {float b}; // For sJustFloats.b
%apply int {int c}; // For sTest.c
%apply sJustFloats {sJustFloats sJf}; // For sTest.sJf
%apply sTest {sTest test}; //I guess this exposes test struct itself.
- Steps followed to get .so file that is imported in Python:
gcc -c -fPIC Sample.c Sample_wrap.c -I /usr/include/python3.6m
ld -shared Sample.o Sample_wrap.o -o _Sample.so
Observations:
I am able to import this as a module in Python and I can access fields of sTest as follows:
test = Sample.sTest()
test.c // To access "c" -- This works fine
Problem: I am not able to access fields of struct sJustFloats
If I do test.sJf()
, it gives me TypeError: 'SwigPyObject' object is not callable
. Similarly test.sJf.a
gives: AttributeError: 'SwigPyObject' object has no attribute 'a'
Can someone please tell me how to access members of the struct, sJustFloats?
Additional observations:
- When I do
type(Sample.sTest)
, it gives me<class 'type'>
, whereas doingtype(Sample.sTest.sJf)
gives me<class 'property'>
. - If I have both structs in the same file "Sample.h", I am able to access all the fields by doing:
test = Sample.sTest()
sjf = test.sJf()
sjf.a # Works fine
sjf.b # Works fine
Am I missing something in the interface file? Are there are nuances of SWIG that I'm unaware of?
