New submission from Brett Cannon <br...@python.org>: The _io module imports the os module purely for the use of os.device_encoding(). That function, though, is defined by posix and thus is already available to C code. To avoid this import dependency it would be better to simply expose the function somehow so that _io can just directly call the function.
Antoine has suggested Python/fileutils.c as a possible place, although I'm personally happy simply exposing the function from posix and making it a METH_O function so that as little code needs to change for _io to use it. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 154557 nosy: brett.cannon, pitrou priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Expose os.device_encoding() at the C level versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14153> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
