Terry J. Reedy added the comment: marshal currently has a simple, coherent, high-level interface: dump and load serializations.
_fix_co_filename sounds a bit hackish and ad hoc. Martin's suggestion looks to me like a better way to publicly expose filename setting. Making a function public indefinitely freezes the api and behavior, so we need to consider if we might want to change it. If Martin is correct as to the definition of _w_long, its a trivial one line convenience function that is not particularly specific to marshal and that could have been inlined in the code (and for all I know, is, when C compiled). Its existence in marshal really seems to me like an implementation detail that should remain private. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16213> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
