Description

My scanner supports customisation of colour curve table. "scanimage" utility reports this option as

   --red-gamma-table 0..255,...
        Gamma-correction table for the red band.
    --green-gamma-table 0..255,...
        Gamma-correction table for the green band.
    --blue-gamma-table 0..255,...
        Gamma-correction table for the blue band.

It is an array of integers, SANE reports option size 1024. Alas, Python demands a single-value int/long option.

How can we support value tables?

Research direction

Start with the scanimage option definitions and the Python-to-SANE option handling described in the issue, focusing on how integer options are converted and sized. Determine the design needed for array-valued options such as the red, green, and blue gamma tables; done means these SANE tables can be supplied instead of being rejected as single integers.
