Hello all, I decided to play around with the C-API and have gotten stuck. I went through the Shoddy example (https://docs.python.org/3/extending/newtypes.html#subclassing-other-types) in the docs and tried to extend it by adding a method which creates and returns a shoddy instance. I dug around to find ways to allocate and initialize my shoddy instance and that seems to work well. However, I get segfaults when I try to delete my instance. The code is in the gist: https://gist.github.com/pbrady/f2daf50761e458bbe44a
The magic happens in the make_a_shoddy function. Here's a sample session (Python 3.4.1) >>> from shoddy import make_a_shoddy() >>> shd = make_a_shoddy() tup build shd allocated list style allocation successful Py_SIZE(list) : 5 Py_SIZE(shoddy) : 5 >>> type(shd) <class 'shoddy.Shoddy'> >>> shd[:] [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] >>> shd.increment() 1 >>> shd.increment() 2 >>> del shd Segmentation fault (core dumped) This happens even if I don't set the destructor. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Peter. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
