Hello,
I submitted my first patch recently for the curses color_set and wcolor_set
functions. I am now working on addchstr, addchnstr, mvaddchstr,
mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchstr, mvwaddchnstr, waddchstr and waddchnstr.
I have implemented the non window specific methods as follows:
/* Window.addchstr Inserted Steve Owens 2/25/2005 */
static PyObject *
PyCursesWindow_AddChstr(PyCursesWindowObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
int x, y, n;
PyStringObject *pS;
switch (PyTuple_Size(args)) {
case 1:
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "S;(String) expected for waddchstr", &pS))
return NULL;
return PyCursesCheckERR(waddchstr(self->win,
(chtype*)PyString_AsString(pS)), "waddchstr");
case 2:
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "Si;(String, int) expected for waddchnstr",
&pS, &n))
return NULL;
return PyCursesCheckERR(waddchnstr(self->win,
(chtype*)PyString_AsString(pS), n), "waddchnstr");
case 3:
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args,"iiS;(int, int, String) expected for
mvwaddchstr", &y, &x, &pS))
return NULL;
return PyCursesCheckERR(mvwaddchstr(self->win, y, x,
(chtype*)PyString_AsString(pS)), "mvwaddchstr");
case 4:
if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args,"iiSi;(int, int, String, int) expected for
mvwaddchnstr", &y, &x, &pS, &n))
return NULL;
return PyCursesCheckERR(mvwaddchnstr(self->win, y, x,
(chtype*)PyString_AsString(pS), n), "mvwaddchnstr");
default:
PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "addchstr requires 1 to 4 arguments");
}
return NULL;
}
Now the thing is that when I make calls from python like so:
curses.addchstr(5,10, "@ < Row 5, Col 10")
curses.addchstr(8,10, "Below you should see ABCDEFG")
curses.addchstr(9,10, "ABCDEFG")
curses.addchstr(12,10, "Below you should see ABCD")
curses.addchnstr(13,10, "ABCDEFGHI", 4)
What prints out on the screen is gobledygook not the strings you would
expect below.
Any thoughts on how to correctly convert the PyStringObject arguments to
chtype* pointers so that the ncurses library will be able to understand
them?
