PyType_Slot is defined as a void* (not a function pointer): https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/8492b729ae97737d22544f2102559b2b8dd03a03/Include/object.h#L223-L226 So putting a PyTypeObject* into a slot would appear to be more kosher than function pointers. Overall, a slot seems like a great first approach. It doesn't require any new functions, which seems like a plus. If the any linking issues a la tp_base are seen, a new function could be added later. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue15870> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
