Thanks for the quick response. So that's now merged :-) Gilchrist, thank you for this really clean work and the extensive tests you've run on it. If we notice there's more contribution to this code, maybe we'll have to push one step further like we did to support many openssl versions, which consists in always sticking to the most recent API and emulate it for the old ones. In your case that would for example mean that instead of having this : - value = PyString_FromStringAndSize(args[i].name.str, args[i].name.len); + value = PY_STRING_FROM_STRING_AND_SIZE(args[i].name.str, args[i].name.len); You would switch it to "PyUnicode_FromStringAndSize" (which is the new one from python3) and add this in your compatibility layer to keep suppor for 2.7: #define PyUnicode_FromStringAndSize PyString_FromStringAndSize That's something that can almost never be done in a single step, as it's the best way to mix everything and cause breakage, but with your work this seems to become within reach. But given that I don't know if we should expect many contributions there, I don't know if it's worth investing more time on it! Cheers, Willy
