[Swig-user] using built-in swig typemaps within custom typemaps

[Joshua H. <jha...@gm...>]

I have a C++ class which I am trying to map to various python types.  Within
my custom typemap, I am able to generate most of the simple python types
using functions like PyFloat_FromDouble, PyInt_FromLong, and
PyString_FromString.  The problem is that there will also be times when I
will need to map a C++ std::vector to a python list within this custom type
map.  Is there some way that I can take advantage of the existing, built-in
swig typemaps for std::vectors from within my custom typemap?   I can't
imagine that the best way to move forward is to copy the typemap code from
std_vector.i into my custom typemap.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Josh
