I'm not sure I'm following how that would help, but it sounds like you're saying that pointers to extension-defined data structure would not be PyTypeObject pointers, and vice versa? At least not without interconversion using this offset, which adds more overhead. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/KLN5GG26WXWUTJ7R3RT2XYNY545QE4PB/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
