Hi,

I remember, I wasn't sure about the supposed way of doing that either for
a u8vector. Finally I used the set method to set the individual elements
like this:
------
# elements as list
values = (0xA1, ...)

# create pmt vector with one default value for all elements
pmtvector = pmt.pmt_make_u8vector(len(values), 0x00)

# set the individual elements
for i in xrange(len(values)) :
        pmt.pmt_u8vector_set(pmtvector, i, values[i])
------

Not nice, but it works for me. Although I agree that passing a list at
construction would be very handy.

Yours
Martin
