Serializing filter specifiers for custom file formats. The particular case that prompted adding the code is zipfile (issue 14366). I've added a note to the docs and docstrings explaining this. > I wonder if Py_LONG_LONG is always defined (although it certainly is on major > platforms). I expect it will always be defined on platforms that support liblzma - the API uses uint64_t in quite a few places, via the lzma_vli typedef. In any case, _lzmamodule.c checks for PY_LONG_LONG explicitly at compile-time and gives a useful error message if it is undefined. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file25480/lzma-properties.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14736> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
