If you look at the title of https://docs.python.org/2/extending/extending.html clearly C++ extensions are also supported. > Even if change the signature of one function, this will not help much, > because a lot of other functions require "char *" instead of "const char *". I don't know which functions you mean, I only encountered this problem for PyErr_BadInternalCall(). I should also add that the problem cannot be avoided or worked around for PyErr_BadInternalCall() because it's a CPython header itself which does an illegal conversion of a string constant to char*. > This will lead to incompatibility of your extension with older bugfix > releases. I don't see why there would be ABI incompatibility. My patch is only adding "const" in the call of a C function. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26476> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
