If we do 'isinstance(obj, str)', then what should be the behavior in Py2 and Py3? In fact, this question is actually related to the map in builtin_types_table at Cython/Compiler/Builtin.py. Do it make sense to do the map like this
bytes -> PyBytes_Type str -> PyString_Type unicode -> PyUnicode_Type But this would require to #define 'PyString_Type' to 'PyUnicode_Type' for the Py3 case, instead of the current approach of being it #defined a 'PyBytes_Type'. My mind still resist the idea of not being able to tell Cython 'this is the built-in 'str' type you use in Python code, whatever it is in Py2 or Py3'. -- Lisandro Dalcín --------------- Centro Internacional de Métodos Computacionales en Ingeniería (CIMEC) Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnológico para la Industria Química (INTEC) Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) PTLC - Güemes 3450, (3000) Santa Fe, Argentina Tel/Fax: +54-(0)342-451.1594 _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
