Array of composite types returned from python

<div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">I’ve endeavored to enable the return of arrays of composite types from
codewritten in PL/Python.  It seems that this can be accomplished though a very minor change to the code:<p
class="MsoNormal"> <pclass="MsoNormal">On line 401 in the file <span style="font-family:"Courier
New"">src/pl/plpython/plpy_typeio.c</span>,remove the error report “PL/Python functions cannot return type…” and
replaceit with the command <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">arg->func =
PLyObject_ToComposite;</span><pclass="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">From all that I can see, this does exactly what
Iwant. A python list of tuples is converted to an array of composite types in SQL. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p

discrepanciesI got were ones that were due to the output expecting an error. When I altered the .out files to the
expectedbehavior, it matched just fine. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Am I missing anything, (ie memory
leak,undesirable behavior elsewhere)? <p class="MsoNormal">             -Ed <p class="MsoNormal"> <p
