Raymond Hettinger added the comment: The docs do make the claim of returning void: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/list.html#c.PyList_SET_ITEM
However, I think we should change the docs rather than changing the macro. This macro is very old and very widely used. Changing it is likely to break existing code which may rely on the current behavior. Also, I don't want to encourage code like what you saw in py-qt4. It is very indirect about what it is trying to express. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30459> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
