efficiently convert string (or tuple) to ctypes array
- by Mu Mind
I've got code that takes a PIL image and converts it to a ctypes array to pass out to a C function:
w_px, h_px = img.size
pixels = struct.unpack('%dI'%(w_px*h_px), img.convert('RGBA').tostring())
pixels_array = (ctypes.c_int * len(pixels))(*pixels)
But I'm dealing with big images, and unpacking that many items into function arguments seems to be…
