New submission from Maxwell Bernstein <tekk.nol...@gmail.com>:
For a vanishingly small number of internal types, CPython sets the tp_name slot to mod_name.type_name, either in the PyTypeObject or the PyType_Spec. There are a few minor places where this surfaces: * Custom repr functions for those types (some of which ignore the tp_name in favor of using a string literal, such as _io.TextIOWrapper) * Pickling error messages The existing test suite only tests the former. This makes it tricky for other Python implementations to pass the test suite if they do not expose the module name (_io, _ssl, _tkinter, etc) in their type names. ---------- assignee: christian.heimes components: IO, SSL, Tests, Tkinter messages: 342593 nosy: christian.heimes, tekknolagi priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Other Python _io implementations may not expose _io in their type names type: behavior versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36929> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
