c - Python ctypes: passing to function with 'const char ** ' argument -

-

i want pass python list of strings c function expecting const char **. saw question , solution here not seem work me. following sample code:

arglist = ['abc','def'] options = (ctypes.c_char_p * len(arglist))() options[:] = arglist

gives following error:

traceback (most recent call last):   file "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module> typeerror: string or integer address expected instead of str instance

what doing wrong?

addendum:

there seems consensus, code should work. here how reproduce problem.

the following 4 lines typed in python command-line illustrate problem.

python 3.2 (r32:88445, feb 20 2011, 21:29:02) [msc v.1500 32 bit (intel)] on win 32 type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" more information. >>> ctypes import * >>> arglist = ['abc', 'def'] >>> options = (c_char_p * len(arglist))() >>> options[:] = arglist traceback (most recent call last):   file "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> typeerror: string or integer address expected instead of str instance >>>

the sample python code correct.

can paste whole code?

in case, guessing string contains embedded nul bytes, , throws typeerror exception.

hope link helps: http://docs.python.org/c-api/arg.html

c# - Is it possible to remove an existing registration from Autofac container builder? -

something along lines: builder.registertype<mytype>().as<itype>(); builder.registertype<mytype2>().as<itype>(); builder.deregistertype<mytype>().as<itype>() var container = builder.build(); var types = container.resolve<ienumerable<itype>>(); assert.istrue(types.count == 1); assert.istrue(types[0].gettype == typeof(mytype2)); scenario: go through bunch of assemblies , go register types want make sure have 1 implementation of given type. need before create container. track on own nice if autofac me bit. this cannot done directly using containerbuilder , unless start on new one. mind you, having first built container should able construct new container filtering away unwanted types , reusing registrations first container. this: ... var container = builder.build(); builder = new containerbuilder(); var components = container.componentregistry.registrations .where(cr => cr.activator.limittype != typ...

php - Mysql PK and FK char(36) vs int(10) -

-
i have read mysql can handle indexes , searches better if tables keys integers rather char(36) uuid's. is worth converting int(10)? note: use 1 server , have have plans use multiple databases concurrently therefore removing 1 of big reasons using uuid. our tables innodb if makes difference. thanks in advance. usually rdbms can handle integer keys pk more efficient, other datatypes. reason how build index column, yes: long dont require string (or other typed) keys, should use integers. however: char(36) , int(10) far away being equal, because int(10) much smaller, char(36). dont know, if require many different keys, should keep in mind. update, complete last paragraph: int(10) 32-bit, char(36) 36 - ^byte^ (= 288-bit). not mean, int consumes less space, means, char(36) has 4 times more different keys.
