Well, it *is* a special library. It is tightly integrated with the interpreter core, and it provides a fundamental service in the language. Besides, since the pyc format is an implementation detail, I don't see how exposing r_long, w_long and friends would help third-party libraries, which would still have to rely on non-public details. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16213> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
