Hi. Its easy to pass simple format data like double, int between sage and C programs.

int add_one(int i)
{
   return i+1;
}

than

cdef extern from "file":
   int add_one(int n)

but what if i want to pass list, tuples etc ( simple int * doesnt work ;) ) Does anybody know how to do that, or if thher is samoe manual (in this what i found are only simple examples ) Thank You in advance Luke

The Sage library contains many C++ library interfaces, for example sage/libs/ppl.pyx. Basically, write your C++ class and a Cython class that holds an instance of the C++ class as thisptr. Then add Cython wrappers for the C++ methods. Now you have a C++ class that can be accessed from the Python command line...

For homogeneous arrays I would use STL vectors. There is an example for how to access STL vectors from Cython shipped with Sage, see sage/tests/stl_vector.pyx.

For more complicated data structures mixing all kinds of types just encapsulate it into a Cython class.
