[Python-Dev] Re: Updating inspect APIs

Is it not acceptable to create new functions that return non-named-tuple objects (e.g. dataclasses with slots)? Otherwise the way the stats result tuple works is a reasonable approach (and possibly deprecate indexed access?) On Sun, Apr 17, 2022 at 10:23 AM Pablo Galindo Salgado wrote: > Hi, >

Things like os.stat_result use PyStructSequence_NewType, which is the C equivalent of a namedtuple. But a Struct Sequence has the extension of being able to have more named fields than the tuple length. It was designed, so I understand, just for cases like this. I don't know if it would be

That's an interesting idea but the objective is not to only produce a backwards compatible version but also a maintainable solution that also doesn't have weird side effects or strange behaviour. I find things that behaves like that a bit surprising. But this is something we could certainly do.

Hi, We are currently debating in gh-88116 ( https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/88116) what's the best way forward to update the APIs in the inspect module to include the new position information. These APIs are inspect.getframeinfo, inspect.getouterframes, inspect.getinnerframes,
