Hi, I have been writing a new C api that can build with both python 2.6 and 3.0
I found that when building with python 2.6, doing "a==b" between 2
different pyrna_struct_Type's would run tp_compare
But with python 3.0, "a==b" will always be false and tp_compare
function would not even run.
The only way to get it to run the tp_compare function was to do
"cmp(a, b)" however Id like to be able to use == still.
The only way I could get "a==b" to work in python 3.0 was to add a
tp_richcompare function which runs tp_compare with Py_CmpToRich()
anyway
Is this the intended behavior? - if so its important for external C
API's to be updated to support this.
Included the PyType below with some relevant details. I looked at
other Python 3.0 types but could not see why this would happen.
// ----snip,
// initialized with PyType_Ready
if( PyType_Ready( &pyrna_struct_Type ) < 0 )
return NULL;
// header definition for BPy_StructRNA
typedef struct {
PyObject_HEAD /* required python macro */
PointerRNA ptr;
int freeptr; /* needed in some cases if ptr.data is created on the
fly, free when deallocing */
} BPy_StructRNA;
// PyType
