I was able to generate python bindings for a camera library using SWIG and I am able to capture and save image using the library’s inbuilt functions.
I am trying to obtain data from the camera into Python Image Library format, the library provides functions to return camera data as unsigned char* .
Does anyone know how to convert unsigned char* image data into some data format that I can use in Python?
Basically am trying to convert unsigned char* image data to Python Image Library format.

Thank you.

    Okay Guys, so finally after a long fight (maybe because am a newbie in python), I solved it.

    I wrote a data structure that could be understood by python and converted the unsigned char* image to that structure. After writing the interface for the custom data structure, I was able to get the image into Python Image Library image format.
    I wanted to paste the code here but it wont allow more tha 500 chars.
    Here’s a link to my code

    I’ve also attached files so that you can use it.
