I doubt the current typemap code is language portable (I don't know how adding things to output vector will translate to other languages). It seems to me that the portable portion of the code is generated by swig, and any typemaps we add on top will be mostly language specific. Dan, maybe you can comment on this. I added a patch that translates out-bound C list (type**, int) to an actual PyList, which is garbage collected, and you can have a for-in loop range over it without an index, and you don't need get_*_by_idx. There are probably other advantages that I don't know about. Would this be useful to a python developer? What about an in-bound PyList (for set_roles)? Do iterate() function pointers work currently? If not, maybe better python integration can help make them work? > For the nodecon patch, I wasn't sure if we were sufficiently confident > in the ABI/API stability to include it for FC5 or if it should wait on > FC6 devel.

I would like to hear any recommendations on byte order/byte array handling. -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
