Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: Python 3000 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: PyFloat_FromString deprecated form Initial Comment: PyFloat_FromString takes two arguments, and the only purpose of the second is to avoid changing the API. Extracts from Tim's 2000 comment: Since we can't change the interface of a public API function, pend is still supported but now *officially* useless: if pend is not NULL, *pend is set to NULL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) Date: 2007-03-06 19:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=764593 Originator: YES I didn't realize that a decision had been made about the C API stability. I would indeed propose changing it, but probably not if it the rest of the API (even for strings and unicode?) is supposed to stay stable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2007-03-06 13:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Originator: NO (cont'd) C API functions shouldn't even change signature in Py 3000. Therefore, a new name would be needed... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2007-03-06 13:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Originator: NO What do you propose to do? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1650903&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
