Howdy,Is it possible to create a python extension function that takes an integer for the first parameter, and then a variable parameter for a second parameter, like I can do with a coffee extension function?
For instance if I want the first parameter to be an ID, and then the second parameter to be either a bool, integer or float. Is that possible?
Adios

Howdy,
OK, never mind. I took an educated guess and it worked perfectly:
LONG id; GeData gdata; const CHAR *kwlist[] = {"integer", "gedata", NULL}; if(!pylib.ParseTupleAndKeywords(args, keywords, "iG", kwlist, &id, &gdata)) return pylib.ReturnPyFALSE(); if(gdata.GetType() != DA_LONG && gdata.GetType() != DA_REAL) return pylib.ReturnPyFALSE();The last line checks the type, so the function only accepts a bool, int or float (a bool is actually an int).
Adios,

Hi,
Yes, using a GeData is the way to go in Python to parse a parameter that can be of various types.

Well, the educated guess was mainly in the use of the string "gedata". I sort of knew that a GeData was the way to go.
That's why I asked in the other thread if you could post a complete list of parameters for the different types.
Adios,
