As you can see from my first message, I originally considered PyType_FromSpecEx(PyObject *meta, PyType_Spec *spec) without bases. (In fact I was unaware of the recent addition of PyType_FromSpecWithBases.) Maybe the original signature makes more sense than the one in the patch. Explicitly setting a metaclass is most useful for the most basic type. On the other hand, a fully general function may eventually replace both PyType_FromSpec and PyType_FromSpecWithBases for most uses. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15870> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
