[Swig-user] modules and extend in python problem

[Ross H. <bru...@ya...>]

Hi,
I'm trying to use the extend directive to make a c
struct more class like in python.  This used to work
but something has changed in swig, i think.
The problem seems to be that a struct defined and
extended in one module is fine, but the extended type
is not known to the other module for typechecking so
there is a failure.
Following is the python bit, the c codes and swig
interface files are attached.  swig 1.3.25

Python 2.4.2 (#1, Feb 22 2006, 18:50:47) 
[GCC 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0,
pie-8.7.8)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
>>> import mod1 as m1
>>> import mod2 as m2
>>> num=m1.mycomplex(1.0,2.0)
>>> m1.printcomplex1(num)
1.000000 2.000000
>>> m2.printcomplex2(num)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: argument number 1: a 'mycomplex *' is
expected, 'PySwigObject(_p__mycomplex)' is received
