New submission from Guido van Rossum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The built-in type structseq (used by e.g. os.stat() for the stat structure and by the time module for a time tuple) resembles the new namedtuple type added to the collections module in 2.6.
It would be nice if these had at least a common ABC if not a shared implementation. At the same time I think that in 3.0 we should remove the feature of "hidden fields" which is used to have structs that behave like fixed-size tuples even though they have a variable number of named fields (the list of names varies per platform). We should deprecate the use of tuple-unpacking for these (except for the first 6 fields of a timetuple, perhaps). ---------- components: Interpreter Core, Library (Lib) messages: 63594 nosy: gvanrossum priority: high severity: normal status: open title: Make structseq more like collections.namedtuple type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 3.0 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2308> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
