I don’t think there is much that I am comfortable changing in Python 2.7. In general it is a bad idea to add new features that are only going to be available in e.g. 2.7.13+ and won’t work in older versions of 2.7. One rule of thumb is if a change would require additional documentation, then it is probably a new feature. In this case, find_library() is returning something that is not a plain filename or path name, so the documentation also needs changing. If we added a version of find_library() that returned only file or path names (and not archive members!), I might consider that acceptable for 2.7, because it is filling in missing AIX functionality, and sticks to the current documentation. But it sounds like most libraries are archive members, so I can understand if that sort of change is not worth the effort. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file43479/Python2.Lib.ctypes.160611.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26439> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
