> I'm -1 on calling it PyType_FromSpecEx. I find it encouraging that you commented on the choice of name. :-) I can live with PyType_FromMetatypeAndSpec and leave out bases. PyType_FromTypeAndSpec is fine too. On the substance, I don't think this API is just convenience. In my application I have to replace meta type after my type is created with PyType_FromSpec. This is fragile and works only for very simple metatypes. Let's get back to this discussion once I have a ctypes patch. I there will be a work-around for ctypes it will probably work for my case. (My case is a little bit more complicated because I extend the size of my type objects to store custom metadata. Ctypes fudge this issue by hiding extra data in a custom tp_dict. ) ---------- _______________________________________ 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
