Category: win32 Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: ken (kchmbrln) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Default to buffer for win32ts.WTSQuerySessionInformation Initial Comment: Currently win32ts.WTSQuerySessionInformation raises a PyExc_NotImplementedError exception in those cases where no specific interpretation of the results has been provided. It would be more useful if, instead of an exception, it would return a buffer object with the raw contents of the buffer that the api function returned copied into it. Then the user could use something like struct.unpack_from(fmt, buffer [,offset = 0]) to interpret the results as needed. Something like (untested): switch (WTSInfoClass){ ... default: void *newbuf ret=PyBuffer_New(bufsize); ret->ob_type->tp_as_buffer->bf_getwritebuffer(ret, 0, &newbuf); memcpy(newbuf, buf, bufsize); } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mark Hammond (mhammond) Date: 2007-07-18 07:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=14198 Originator: NO If we do that, it would prevent us upgrading the code in the future (as it would then break code which assumed the buffer). An alternative might be an extra param to indicate if a buffer is wanted or not, which would then be used in all cases. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=551957&aid=1755527&group_id=78018 |
