First issues that I met when I tried that: * C code generated by Argument Clinic is incompatible the limited C API: METH_FASTCALL, _PyArg_CheckPositional(), static _PyArg_Parser, etc. are excluded from the limited C API. * PyTypeObject is opaque and so it's not possible to implement a deallocator function (tp_dealloc) which calls tp_free like: Py_TYPE(self)->tp_free((PyObject*)self); * _Py_IDENTIFIER() is not part of the limited C API ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39573> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
