[Open Babel] Is it possible to support numpy arrays in the python module?

[Davide Olianas]

Hello,

I was reading the wiki page for python and in the last part
<http://openbabel.org/docs/current/UseTheLibrary/PythonDoc.html> it
states that a conversion to python built-in floats is required. Would it
be possible to avoid this conversion? Could somebody explain if adding
the code to handle numpy arrays is complicated or not?

Thanks for any info in advance,
Davide

Actually, it says that it *may* be supported, and an example is shown.

A numpy array is a C/C++ array, and is supported by Open Babel
natively as it is a C/C++ toolkit. However, as C++ is a typed
language, and if the correct type is not passed in, it doesn't work.
