Passing event data to Delphi from an event in a Module

[peardox 0]

Some sample python...
 

import adelphimodule

class ADict(dict):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.__dict__ = self

someitems = ADict(
	first = 1,
	second = "Two",
	third = 3.0,
	fourth = ADict(
		subitem1 = True
		}
	)
	
print(adelphimodule.delphievent(someitems))

 

Now, in Delphi I stick a PythonModule on a form and hook it up to engine etc (i.e. all this bit works) - I name it delphimodule which will then make it accessible with the Python above.

Next I create an event for the module called delphievent

In delphi I run the Python and when it hits the adelphimodule.delphievent(someitems) which then triggers this bit of Delphi...

 

procedure TForm1.PythonModule1Events0Execute(Sender: TObject; PSelf, Args: PPyObject;
  var Result: PPyObject);
var
  log: TTrainLog;
begin
  with GetPythonEngine do
  begin
    // Check if the transmitted object is a dictionary
    if not PyDict_Check(Args) then
    begin
      Result := PyUnicodeFromString('===> Bad Event Handler!');
      Exit;
    end;
  end;
  Result := PyUnicodeFromString('===> Good Event Handler!');
end;

 

This code will make the Python print "Bad Event Handler" even though I've passed the event data that is a Python dict

 

The examples have a single event demo and it does nothing with passing data so I'm a little stumped over how to extract the data I passed in

 

I could write yet another module I guess but then I'd end up needing new modules for any new bunch of data I sent back to Delphi. The thing I'm trying to do is pass arbitary data back to delphi (tried packaging it as JSon but couldn't read ther string data either) 

 

Edit : Got string passing OK now so can always pass as JSON

Args is a tuple not a dictionary.  Search in the P4D source code for  PyArg_ParseTuple to see how to make use of Args.  There are hundreds of examples!
