Hi,
I am wrapping libsndfile to Python, using SWIG and don't know howto return a malloc()ed memory area back to Python.
I've found CObjects, which would let me pass free() as cleanup function, but I'd rather return a buffer object (PyBuffer_FromReadWriteMemory) so that I could prevent copying of data, but I don't know how to prevent the memory leak then. Can I install some kind of cleanup hook?
Please also reply to me personally, as I am not on the python-dev list.
Thanks, Uwe
