how do I iterate over a “gslist” in Python?

Question

Let's say I get a glib gpointer to a glib gslist and would like to iterate over the latter, how would I do it?

I don't even know how to get to the gslist with the gpointer for starters!

Update : I found a workaround - the python bindings in this instance wasn't complete so I had to find another solution.

How is glib exposed to Python in your application? Via SWIG, ctypes or something else?

You should basically use glib 's own functions to iterate over a list. Something like g_slist_foreach . Just pass it the pointer and its other parameters to do the job. Again, this heavily depends on how you access glib in your Python application.
