As seen here How do I convert a Python list into a C array by using ctypes? this code will take a python array and transform it to a C array.
import ctypes
arr = (ctypes.c_int * len(pyarr))(*pyarr)
Which would the way of doing the same with a list of lists or a lists of lists of lists?
For example, for the following variable
list3d = [[[40.0, 1.2, 6.0, 0.3], [50.0, 4.2, 0, 0]], [[40.0, 1.2, 6.0, 0.3], [50.0, 4.2, 0, 0]], [[40.0, 1.2, 6.0, 0.3], [50.0, 4.2, 0, 0]]]
I have tried the following with no luck:
([[ctypes.c_double * 4] *2]*3)(*list3d)
# *** TypeError: 'list' object is not callable
(ctypes.c_double * 4 *2 *3)(*list3d)
# *** TypeError: expected c_double_Array_4_Array_2 instance, got list
Thank you!
EDIT: Just to clarify, I am trying to get one object that contains the whole multidimensional array, not a list of objects. This object's reference will be an input to a C DLL that expects a 3D array.
