-cc: python-dev +cc: python-3000 Hi Haoyu,
I'm glad someone wanting to work on updating swig for python 3.x. A better mailing list for python 3.x internals questions as you work on this is the python-3000@python.org list. The first place I suggest looking when you have a question is in the Python trunk vs Python py3k branch source trees themselves (see http://python.org/dev/ for instructions on how to check them out from subversion). Take a look at how functions were used internally in the Python/ and Objects/ subdirectories in trunk and take another look at how similar stuff works in the py3k branch and maybe it'll give you hints about what to do. It'd be ideal if swig could do its thing in the future without using any undocumented/private APIs. -gps On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 9:35 AM, Haoyu Bai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am a Google Summer of Code student who preparing a SWIG's Python 3.0 > support proposal.
