Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: The PyEval_Call*() APIs indeed predate the PyObject_Call*() ones. The PyObject_Call*() APIs came into existence when the abstract layer was added in Python 1.3.
The PyObject_Call*() APIs lacked a way to call an object with keyword arguments for a long time. I guess that's what most people continued to use the PyEval_Call*() ones. The latter also provide better protection against wrong parameters. The interpreter itself used them interchangeably. ---------- nosy: +lemburg _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11165> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
