     Type:  defect                  |      Status:  new              
 Priority:  normal                  |   Milestone:  Libprelude 0.9.17
Component:  libprelude              |     Version:  0.9              
 Severity:  normal                  |    Keywords:  python binding   
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
 I do not manage to get python integer values from the functions that
 return either an uint32_t* or uint16_t* type (e.g., get_severity,
 get_completion, userid->get_number, process->get_pid, get_completion,
 get_port, etc...). I get a reference to the corresponding object, but I
 cannot (or I don't know how to) dereference the pointer to get the value
 in python.

 My (dirty) workaround consists in replacing

  {{{
  resultobj = SWIG_NewPointerObj(SWIG_as_voidptr(result),
  SWIGTYPE_p_unsigned_int, 0 |  0 );
  }}}

  with

  {{{
  resultobj = PyInt_FromLong((long)(*result));
  }}}

  in _prelude.c, after having tested that result is not NULL:

  {{{
  if(result == (uint32_t *)NULL) SWIG_fail;
  }}}

 Maybe a typemap directive is also required here, but I am not sure...

 Cheers,

 Ben
