Hi,
We can read in the manual:
14.8.2.25 ‘:post’
The ‘:post’ header argument is used to post-process the results of a
code block execution. When a post argument is given, the results of the
code block will temporarily be bound to the ‘*this*’ variable. This
variable may then be included in header argument forms such as those
used in *note var:: header argument specifications allowing passing of
results to other code blocks, or direct execution via Emacs Lisp.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
IIUC, it means that we can post process the data in Emacs Lisp, that is,
by calling an Emacs Lisp function, not another source block. However,
the example only shows how to do it with another source block.
Is my understanding correct or not? If so, how can I post process the
result with an Emacs Lisp function?
Cheers,

I cannot see anyway to use direct execution of emacs lisp code in this
(and nothing I have tried actually works). Any emacs-lisp code seems to
get evaluated before running the block and *this* is not defined then.
As advertised, this works:
#+name: wrap
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var data=""
(concat "====================\n" data "================\n"))
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC python :post wrap(*this*)
print 66
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: ====================
: 66
: ================
But I don't see a way in org-babel-ref-resolve to resolve emacs-lisp as
a :post argument.

The quoted part of the manual does suggest that lisp snippets should work
like `:post (do-something *this*)'
But perhaps *this* (pun intended) is what was meant: an emacs-lisp block
can refer to `*this*' without needing to pass the value as a header
argument.
#+NAME: abc
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(concat *this* " and that")
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :post abc()
"T-H-I-S"
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: T-H-I-S and that

that makes sense.
