[issue7766] sys.getwindowsversion as PyStructSequence

2010-01-26 Thread Eric Smith
Eric Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment: The more I think about this, the more concerned I am about changing the number of elements in the tuple. That's the change that broke platform.py. Maybe we should add a parameter named something like level, defaulting to 0. 0 = existing

2010-01-26 Thread Eric Smith
Eric Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment: Great idea, Marc-Andre. I agree that's the better approach. It looks like PyStructSequence supports this, by setting n_in_sequence to a value smaller then the number of PyStructSequence_Fields. A quick look doesn't show any uses
