Hey there, Recently I started to write a new python/C api for Blender3D with python3.0rc3. This PyApi is a thin wrapper for an autogenerated C API to be used by the UI and animation system (all in C).
Without going into too many details, Im using tp_getattr so the requested attribute can be forwarded to our internal functions. The Blender3D game engine that has used this method to wrap internal data for some years as well, so I don't think this is that unusual. We moved most of our api's to use tp_getset, but that only works when the attributes you need dont change.

I have no problems with breaking compatibility for python3000, however in this case removal of Py_FindMethod, removes functionality for external C api's that rely on dynamic attributes with tp_getattr. Is the intention to remove support for tp_getattr altogether? Note - in the meantime Ill add our own version of Py_FindMethod but its not ideal. -- - Campbell _______________________________________________ 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
