It's needed to implement things that behave like instance methods, for instance, and I notice that at at least some point in the past Zope3 has used the function with a note attached saying "Guido says this is OK".
Also, the context is that I want to submit a patch to PyObjC using the function, and doing a little digging revealed that PyObjC already has a copy & paste copy of _PyType_Lookup, presumably to avoid using an internal API. I don't think this does anyone any good. Thoughts? Cheers, mwh -- I wouldn't trust the Anglo-Saxons for much anything else. Given they way English is spelled, who could trust them on _anything_ that had to do with writing things down, anyway? -- Erik Naggum, comp.lang.lisp _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
