[Wxruby-dev] a quick swig

[repeater]

hmm could any resident swig wizard give me a clue:

#my_typemaps.i
%typemap(python,build) int LCOUNT {
    if (_in_choices) {
        $target = PyList_Size(_in_choices);
    }
    else {
        $target = 0;
    }
}

what does this "build" kind of typemap (no where mentioned in swigdocs) mean
? (and why can't i get it to work)
i do know this is part of multi-argument typemapping, to eliminate redundant
specification of a list's size, and i know how to do it with swig, but the
above would make the current code more simple.

oh well, i've implemented a seemingly redundant collection of typemaps to
mimic this effect (there are quite a few types). so much for pretty code...
