New submission from Nikita Sobolev <m...@sobolevn.me>:
After looking at https://github.com/python/cpython/blame/8fb36494501aad5b0c1d34311c9743c60bb9926c/Lib/ctypes/test/test_python_api.py#L5-L10 in https://bugs.python.org/issue46584 it seems that we should address this comment: ``` # This section should be moved into ctypes\__init__.py, when it's ready. from _ctypes import PyObj_FromPtr ``` by either: 1. Making `PyObj_FromPtr` public by re-exporting it from `ctypes` 2. Removing this comment Arguments for `(1)`: - It is quite widely used and there are a lot of articles mentioning it: https://www.programcreek.com/python/example/77012/_ctypes.PyObj_FromPtr and https://programtalk.com/python-examples/_ctypes.PyObj_FromPtr/ Basically, Google is filled with results. - It looks useful for educational purposes. I don't think that I am familiar with `ctypes`'s history well enough to make an educated dicision here. But, I would love to work on this after this decision is made :) ---------- components: ctypes messages: 412155 nosy: amaury.forgeotdarc, belopolsky, meador.inge, sobolevn, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Should we re-export `PyObj_FromPtr` in `ctypes`? type: behavior versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46585> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
