New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: C API of the C implementation of OrderedDict was added in 3.5 together with the C implementation of OrderedDict. But it was never announced nor documented. Some macros contain bugs. PyODict_Check() and PyODict_CheckExact() are declared in the limited API, but don't work since use PyODict_Type not available in the limited API. PyODict_SIZE() is expanded to syntactically incorrect code and it's name is not consistent with similar macros: PyTuple_GET_SIZE, PyList_GET_SIZE and just added PyDict_GET_SIZE. Many names are just transparent wrappers around PyDict API (and they can't be different).
Since PyODict C API is not documented, partially not working and partially redundant, and the C implementation of OrderedDict is optional (other Python implementations can provide just Python implementation of OrderedDict), I think this C API should be made private if not removed. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 284098 nosy: eric.snow, rhettinger, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: C API of OrderedDict _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29084> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
