Hi! When would I use PyObject_SetAttrString/tp_dictoffset instead of tp_members?
I have a predefined set of members, some of which are optional. The problem I had with an embedded dictionary was that I can't see its elements using "dir()". Now I just converted to using tp_members, and it still seems to work correctly for the cases I tested. Even better, I can declare the fields as read-only then and add doc-strings. So, I wonder, what made the original author[2] use tp_dictoffset instead? In case you wonder, I'm looking at the Python bindings for GDB[1], file gdb/python/python-type.c, struct field_object. Thanks! Uli [1] http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/PythonGdb [2] Yes I could ask them, but I'd like to get an understanding of the pros and cons. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
