@ronaldoussoren * This change currently works for all CPython. If you are using this pattern then you probably want to be using PyType_FromSpec rather than having a static PyTypeObject as discussed in PEP384: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0384. In general, extensions should all be using PyType_FromSpec rather than static PyTypeObjects. * As mentioned by Erik Bray in the e-mail thread, the usage of a static PyTypeObject with a PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT requires a compile-time constant. This causes problems cross-compatibility problems, especially with Windows. You can read more here: http://iguananaut.net/blog/programming/windows-data-import.html In general, this pattern is just pervasive. It causes cross-compatibility issues, it can cause users to forget calling PyType_Ready on a type and we are better off without it. Again, please read the mail thread. Everything that I'm saying here is all discussed there. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34522> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
