Stefan Behnel added the comment: Thanks for the review, Serhiy. There isn't really a reason not to 'normalise' the Python step object to None when 1 is passed from C code, so I updated the patch to do that.
Regarding on-demand creation of the Python values, the problem is that C code that accesses the struct fields directly would not be prepared to find NULL values in them, so this would be a visible change and potential source of crashes. However, my guess is that this would rarely be a problem (see my last comment on changing the slice type internally). ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37205/cache_slice_indices.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18813> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
