Hello,

I would like to know if there was any possibility to obtain the memory adress of a wrapped object from the C4D-API in Py4D. And if not, why isn't there? This would expand the possibilities of Python in Cinema 4D even more. Writing expensive algorithms in C++ and wrap it all with the ease of Python, that'd like cake (and I really love cake)! Yes, we would loose platform independency when using this technique, and needed to compile the C++ implementation for each platform. But hey, the C++ guys do it the same way, except they don't use Python to interface between the user and C++.

import c4d  
import ctypes  
myextension = ctypes.cdll.myextension  
op = c4d.BaseObject(c4d.Ocube)  
myextension.doStuff(op.GetCPointer())

#include <c4d_baseobject.h>  
DLLEXPORT void doStuff(long ptr) {  
  BaseObject* op = (BaseObject* )ptr;  
  // go on doing c++ stuff  
}

Hi,

sorry, but the C++-Python API is unfortunately not supported yet.

Cheers, Seb
