Let's see how far we can get without iso8859_1_bytes, though. (It is likely to be locale_bytes anyways.) There are a few places where we'll need ascii_bytes. The added benefit is that we can make these typedefs unsigned char and avoid char signness being ambiguous. We will also need to give the typedefs the Py_ prefix. And an obligatory bikesheding comment: if we typedef char, we should use singular form. Or we can typedef char* Py_utf8_bytes. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9738> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
