Re: Help with struct arrays

Thanks Thomas, that makes sense. However using either of the two methods
returns nothing. As far as I can tell, the values are stored in the struct,
the function returns the struct to the python wrapper, but when I attempt
to 'print phin[0].times[0]', instead of the location like last time, I just
get nothing...

I'm super confused. Any guidance would be appreciated!
