Eric Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: It makes most sense to name the new 2.7 replacement function to be _PyOS_double_to_string (with a leading underscore). It will be the same as PyOS_double_to_string, except that instead of allocating a buffer and returning it, you will supply it a buffer and a length. That will make its ultimate replacement easy, if I decide to replace it. And having it take a buffer and a length means that I don't need to do major surgery in all of the places that it's called.
In 3.1, there will be no replacement function. All 3.1 code has already been modified to call PyOS_double_to_string directly. Since PyOS_ascii_formatd won't be called anywhere in 2.7 or 3.1, I'm planning on testing its functionality and the fact that it's deprecated using ctypes. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5835> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
