我正在尝试设计一个可以在
Python中轻松扩展的C接口(使用
ctypes).我在C中使用了
natural idiom:
struct format {
int (*can_open)(const char *filename);
struct format * (*open)(const char *filename);
void (*delete)(struct format *self);
int (*read)(struct format *self, char *buf, size_t len);
};
如果我想直接从C扩展此接口,它可以很好地工作:
struct derived /* concrete implementation */
{
struct format base;
};
但我真正想做的是使用ctypes从Python实现这个接口.这是我到目前为止:
CANOPENFUNC = ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(ctypes.c_int, ctypes.c_char_p)
#OPENFUNC = ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(ctypes.c_void_p, ctypes.c_char_p)
#OPENFUNC = ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(ctypes.POINTER( python_format ), ctypes.c_char_p)
#DELETEFUNC = ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(None, ctypes.c_void_p)
#READFUNC = ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(ctypes.c_int, ctypes.c_void_p)
def py_canopen_func( string ):
print "py_canopen_func", string
return 1
canopen_func = CANOPENFUNC(py_canopen_func)
#open_func = OPENFUNC( py_open_func)
#delete_func = DELETEFUNC(py_canopen_func)
#read_func = READFUNC(py_canopen_func)
class python_format(ctypes.Structure):
_fields_ = (
('can_open', CANOPENFUNC),
('open', OPENFUNC),
('delete', DELETEFUNC),
('read', READFUNC),
)
def __init__(self):
self.can_open = canopen_func
OPENFUNC = ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(ctypes.POINTER(python_format), ctypes.c_char_p)
def py_open_func2( string ):
print "py_open_func2", string
return ctypes.byref(self)
self.open = OPENFUNC( py_open_func2 )
#self.delete = delete_func
#self.read = read_func
我真的很难在这里为OPENFUNC定义原型.从技术上讲,它应该是:
OPENFUNC = ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(ctypes.POINTER(python_format), ctypes.c_char_p)
但是我需要首先定义python_format,然后需要定义OPENFUNC.
加分点:实际的功能实现是什么?例如:
def func( str ): return None
要么
def func( str ): i = python_format(); return ctypes.pointer(i)
两个都给了我:
class python_format(ctypes.Structure):
pass
OPENFUNC = ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(ctypes.POINTER( python_format ), ctypes.c_char_p)
OPENFUNC( func )
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: invalid result type for callback function
这与其他issue有关吗?如果是这样,我应该更改我的初始C设计,因为我将无法从回调中返回指向python_format实例的指针?
最佳答案 在ctypes.Structure的文档中,它解释了如何执行此操作:
It is possible to define the
_fields_
class variable after the class
statement that defines the Structure subclass, this allows to create
data types that directly or indirectly reference themselves
这意味着您可以添加:
class python_format(ctypes.Structure): # forward declaration
pass
然后在定义OPENFUNC(和其他函数类型)之后:
OPENFUNC = ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(ctypes.POINTER( python_format ), ctypes.c_char_p)
DELETEFUNC = etc...
然后能够如此定义python_format._fields_:
python_format._fields_ = (
('can_open', CANOPENFUNC),
('open', OPENFUNC),
('delete', DELETEFUNC),
('read', READFUNC),
)
这是一个基于您的代码的更完整的示例:
import ctypes
class python_format(ctypes.Structure): # forward declaration
pass
CANOPENFUNC = ctypes.PYFUNCTYPE(ctypes.c_int, ctypes.c_char_p)
OPENFUNC = ctypes.PYFUNCTYPE(ctypes.c_int,
ctypes.POINTER(python_format),
ctypes.c_char_p)
DELETEFUNC = ctypes.PYFUNCTYPE(None, ctypes.c_void_p)
READFUNC = ctypes.PYFUNCTYPE(ctypes.c_int, ctypes.c_void_p)
def py_canopen_func(self, string):
print "py_canopen_func", string
return 1
def py_open_func(self, string):
print "py_open_func2", string
# Return types from callbacks cannot be anything other than simple
# datatypes (c_int, c_float, ..., c_void_p). For other datatypes
# (STRUCTURE, POINTER, ...), ctypes returns the following error
# "Invalid result type for callback function"
# see http://bugs.python.org/issue5710
return 1 # can't return ctypes.byref(self)
canopen_func = CANOPENFUNC(py_canopen_func)
open_func = OPENFUNC(py_open_func)
#delete_func = DELETEFUNC(py_canopen_func)
#read_func = READFUNC(py_canopen_func)
class python_format(ctypes.Structure):
python_format._fields_ = (
('can_open', CANOPENFUNC),
('open', OPENFUNC),
('delete', DELETEFUNC),
('read', READFUNC),
)
def __init__(self):
self.can_open = canopen_func
self.open = open_func
#self.delete = delete_func
#self.read = read_func
pf = python_format()
