This option would be very useful as it could help avoid a current bug I've had to deal with : https://bugs.python.org/issue29753. My use case works with data/structs from another device all-together, so I can't control it's packing. However since GCC/Linux builds currently have the specified bug, I can't get around it. This option would have allowed me to just specify the MSVC strategy, which in general is what I want to not have to have OS-specific behavior. With the bug in mind, this could have almost be a bug-workaround for me. ---------- nosy: +Charles Machalow _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12528> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
