Armin Rigo <ar...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Martin: I kind of agree with you, although I guess that for pratical reasons if you don't have a reasonable sys.getsizeof() implementation then it's better to raise TypeError than return 0 (like CPython, which may raise "TypeError: Type %.100s doesn't define __sizeof__").
I agree that it's not really useful to mark functions as CPython-specific in the documentation, if only because whenever a new implementation like PyPy comes along, then it's going to have a rather different set of functions that it wants to consider implementation details. I would say that more than half the functions in the sys module marked CPython-specific in the doc are implemented in PyPy just fine, and there is an equal number of functions not marked CPython-specific that have no chance to be implemented in PyPy. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10994> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
