I know and unfortunately there is nothing that I can do about that. It
would be a pity that PEP 580 (or a variant like PEP 576) is not accepted
simply because no core developer cares enough.
Hi,
I do care about this, and I'm really sorry I've been mostly silent here.
Unfortunately, this is the kind of work that can't be done with a few
hours in the evenings, and currently an urgent project is sucking up all
the big blocks of time I have :(
That project should be done in a month or two, however.
As far as I understand, there are some important topics to discuss.
a. Low level calling convention, including argument parsing API.
b. New API for calling objects without argument tuple and dict.
c. How more types can support FASTCALL, LOAD_METHOD and CALL_METHOD.
d. How to reorganize existing builtin types, without breaking stable ABI.
Right, that's why I wanted PEP 580 to be only about (c) and nothing
else. I made the mistake in PEP 575 of also involving (d).
I still don't understand why we must finish (a) before we can even start
discussing (c).
Reference implementation helps discussion.
METH_FASTCALL and argument parsing for METH_FASTCALL is already
implemented in CPython. Not in documented public functions, but the
implementation exists.
And PEP 580 also has a reference implementation:
