My use case for these low-level APIs is to write tests for low-level string/encoding handling in my custom use of the PyPreConfig and PyConfig structs. I wanted to verify that exact byte sequences were turned into specific representations inside of Python strings. This includes ensuring that certain byte sequences retain their appropriate "character" width in internal storage. I know there are alternative ways of performing this testing. But testing against the actual data structure used internally by CPython seemed the most precise since it isolates problems to the "store in Python" side of the problem and not "what does Python do once the data is stored." ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45025> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
