Keyword passing to superclass written in C

[Sven Erik Knop]

Hi

I am getting slightly frustrated and wonder if you can help me.

Consider a Python class Foo implemented in C++. I have declared an
initialization method like this

static int
Foo_init(P4Adapter *self, PyObject *args, PyObject *kwds)
{

}

and I am subclassing Foo in Python, which works fine in principle,
except for passing keywords.

Here is the subclass:

class Bar(Foo):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwlist):
Foo.__init__(self, args, kwlist)

I have tested Foo and Bar as Python classes and passing the keywords is
not a problem. If I create Foo in C++ and call it directly, I can pass
the keywords no bother.

But if I call Bar with keywords, it calls the C++ version of Foo with
all arguments bunched together in "args" and not separated in args and
keywords.

What am doing wrong?

This is Python 2.5.1 - on Ubuntu 7.0.4 if that makes any difference.

Thanks

Sven Erik
