[Pyrex] Python/C API or void * problems...

[Scott Robinson]

I have a function I'm interfacing similar to the following:

int process_data (void *data, int data_length)

How would I pass a Python string to that? I'm trying something like:

cdef char *data
cdef int   data_length

data        = PyString_AsString (data)
data_length = PyString_Size (data)

process_data (data, data_length)

However, there are obviously multiple problems with thus. Furthermore, I
can't seem to properly define access to the PyString accessors:

cdef extern from "Python.h" :
  char *  PyString_AsString   (object string)
  int     PyString_Size       (object string)

Is this correct, or should "object" be "PyObject *"? Pyrex complains with
the original definition.

Scott.
