True, Cython functions are not implemented using Python bytecode, so perfect emulation is impossible. The use case I care most about is getargspec(), which is fully supported by Cython functions. > If it were possible for Cython to makes its CythonFunction class a subclass > of FunctionType, the issue would be 'solved', though the incompatibilities > would remain. That's an interesting idea. Currently, that is simply impossible because >>> from types import FunctionType >>> class X(FunctionType): pass Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: type 'function' is not an acceptable base type Still, one could argue to change the implementation of FunctionType. If you do that, it would be best to define a BaseFunctionType and then have Cython functions and Python functions inherit from that. Personally, I think that's an even better but much more involved solution (I guess it would require a PEP). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30071> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
