Setting dataSize for the modifier plugin

[farshizzo]

Yes, you can manually reallocate the data field. Just make sure that you set the dataSize member to the new size.

However, in your case I would suggest directly creating Python objects within your modifier plugin. For example, if you wanted to make some raw byte data available to your script, you could do the following:

PyObject *imageData = PyString_FromStringAndSize(buffer,bufferLen);

//Add python object to __main__ module
PyModule_AddObject(PyImport_AddModule("__main__"),"myImageData",imageData);

After this code is executed, there will be an myImageData variable available in the __main__ scope of your script.
