Hello, I am a maintainer with the PyBind11 project. We have been following the 3.11 development branch and have noticed an issue we are encountering with changes to the C-API. Particularly, we have an edge case in our overloading dispatch mechanism that we used to solve by inspecting the "self" argument in the co_varnames member of the python frame object: (https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/blob/a224d0cca5f1752acfcdad8e37369e4cda42259e/include/pybind11/pybind11.h#L2380). However, in the new struct, the co_varnames object can now be null. There also doesn't appear to be any public API to populate it on the C-API side. Accessing it via the "inspect" module still works, but that requires us to run a Python code snippit in a potentially very hot code path: (https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/blob/a224d0cca5f1752acfcdad8e37369e4cda42259e/include/pybind11/pybind11.h#L2408). As such, we were hoping that either there is some new API change we have missed, or if there is some way other modern (and hopefully somewhat stable way to access the API) so we can emulate the old behavior with the C-API. ---------- components: C API messages: 409100 nosy: Skylion007 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Get "self" args or non-null co_varnames from frame object with C-API type: enhancement versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46166> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
