New submission from Georg Brandl: This is a request to be able to name C arguments differently from Python arguments.
Two reasons: * like for function renaming, some Python argument names are reserved in C ("default" for example, used in sys.getsizeof()) * sometimes the function uses 'O' in PyArg_ParseTuple and then converts the object itself with a nontrivial process. Usually the converted variable has the name of the Python argument, while the temporary object is named "obj_foo" or "foo_obj". When converting to Argument Clinic, we have to name the object "foo" and find a new name for the converted "foo", which leads to code churn and less beautiful code. ---------- assignee: larry messages: 207948 nosy: georg.brandl, larry priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Argument Clinic: rename arguments in generated C? _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20227> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
