I'm refactoring the sandbox implementation, and I need to add the code that parses the standard format specifiers to py3k. Since strings, ints, and floats share same format specifiers, I want to have only a single parser.
My first question is: where should this parser code live? Should I create a file Python/format.c, or is there a better place? Should the .h file be Include/format.h? I also need to have C code that is called by both str.format, and that is also used by the Formatter implementation. So my second question is: should I create a Module/_format.c for this code? And why do some of these modules have leading underscores? Is it a problem if str.format uses code in Module/_format.c? Where would the .h file for this code go, if str.format (implemented in unicodeobject.c) needs to get access to it? Thanks for your help, and ongoing patience with a Python internals newbie (but C/C++ veteran). Eric. PS: I realize that both of my questions have multiple parts. Sorry if that's confusing. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
