This extension module implements functions for wrapping a Python file like object in a :c:type:`SDL_RWops` struct for SDL file access.
Header file: src_c/include/pygame.h
.. c:function:: SDL_RWops* pgRWops_FromObject(PyObject *obj)
Return a SDL_RWops struct filled to access *obj*.
If *obj* is a string then let SDL open the file it names.
Otherwise, if *obj* is a Python file-like object then use its ``read``, ``write``,
``seek``, ``tell``, and ``close`` methods. If threads are available,
the Python GIL is acquired before calling any of the *obj* methods.
On error raise a Python exception and return ``NULL``.
.. c:function:: SDL_RWops* pgRWops_FromFileObject(PyObject *obj)
Return a SDL_RWops struct filled to access the Python file-like object *obj*.
Uses its ``read``, ``write``, ``seek``, ``tell``, and ``close`` methods.
If threads are available, the Python GIL is acquired before calling any of the *obj* methods.
On error raise a Python exception and return ``NULL``.
.. c:function:: int pgRWops_IsFileObject(SDL_RWops *rw)
Return true if *rw* is a Python file-like object wrapper returned by :c:func:`pgRWops_FromObject`
or :c:func:`pgRWops_FromFileObject`.
.. c:function:: char* pgRWops_GetFileExtension(SDL_RWops *rw)
Return a string that contains the file extension of the original file
loaded into the SDL_RWops object, or NULL if the SDL_RWops object comes
from a file object.
.. c:function:: int pgRWops_ReleaseObject(SDL_RWops *context)
Free a SDL_RWops struct. If it is attached to a Python file-like object, decrement its
refcount. Otherwise, close the file handle.
Return 0 on success. On error, raise a Python exception and return a negative value.
.. c:function:: PyObject* pg_EncodeFilePath(PyObject *obj, PyObject *eclass)
Return the file path *obj* as a byte string properly encoded for the OS.
Null bytes are forbidden in the encoded file path.
On error raise a Python exception and return ``NULL``,
using *eclass* as the exception type if it is not ``NULL``.
If *obj* is ``NULL`` assume an exception was already raised and pass it on.
.. c:function:: PyObject* pg_EncodeString(PyObject *obj, const char *encoding, const char *errors, PyObject *eclass)
Return string *obj* as an encoded byte string.
The C string arguments *encoding* and *errors* are the same as for
:c:func:`PyUnicode_AsEncodedString`.
On error raise a Python exception and return ``NULL``,
using *eclass* as the exception type if it is not ``NULL``.
If *obj* is ``NULL`` assume an exception was already raised and pass it on.
