[Swig-user] Array of structs member (Python <-> C)

[Renier M. <re...@us...>]

Hello,

Having trouble figuring out how to map a C struct, which has an array of 
structs as a member, to Python.

I have this C struct, EntityPath, which I want to convert over to Python:
struct Entity {
        unsigned int type;
        unsigned int location;
};
struct EntityPath {
        Entity entry[16];
};

I know I could represent the "entry" member as a list of tuples (e.g. 
[(<type1>,<location1>),(<type2>,<location2>),...]) by using typemaps so 
that I can access it using "entitypath.entry[n][m]".
However, what I would prefer is to access the struct members like this:
entitypath = EntityPath() # Swig makes this works already
entitypath.entry[3].type # This is what I want.

If this is possible, can someone give me a pointer? I suppose you would 
use typemaps for this also, but not quite sure how to.

Saludos,
