Nick Coghlan added the comment: As Victor noted, inventing our own encoding scheme just for this use case isn't desirable, although it's certainly a good fallback option that will ensure the feature remains feasible even if trying to handle the Unicode issues at the C compiler level proves too challenging.
The other aspect is that changes to the extension module initialisation API always need to go into a PEP regardless, since we need to ensure such changes are usable for both handwritten extensions and extension module generators like Cython, cffi and SWIG. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20485> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
