[Swig-user] How to use **void

[Rob M. <Rob...@ig...>]

Hi,

I'm new to SWIG and I'm trying to use Python to access
a C library. One of the variables is defined as:

typedef void db_store;

When connecting to the database the call is:

db_connect(char *name, db_store **store)

When I create the shared library the definition of
db_store is never created, so when I try to do the
following in python:

 >>> store = db_store

I get:

NameError: name 'db_store' is not defined

And if I simply try to call the connect I get:

 >>> db_connect("",store)

NameError: name 'store' is not defined

BTW, db_store ends up getting pointed at an internal
struct, db_store_internal, that has members and does
show up, but I can't use:

 >>> store = db_store_internal
 >>> store
<class 'db.db_store_internal'>
 >>> db_connect("",store)

because it then says:

TypeError: in method 'db_connect', argument 2 of type 'db_store **'

How do I do this?

Thanks,

Rob
