I have.

You are extending real_vec_t with a new METHOD, but what numpy
requests is an ATTRIBUTE. So, numpy simply queries your vec like:

arrstr =3D vec.__array_struct__

and not with a method call like this

arrstr =3D vec.__array_struct__()


So here is what I would do (can fail with some SWIG optimizations)

%extend Vec {

PyObject* __array_struct__ () { /* ...  */ }

  %pythoncode {
  __array_struct__ =3D property(__array_struct__,
                                                 doc=3D'Array protocol')
  }

}

Hope you got the idea.
