New submission from Jim Jewett: Per https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/init.html#initializing-and-finalizing-the-interpreter Py_Initialize() "should be called before using any other Python/C API functions; with the exception of Py_SetProgramName(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_SetPath()."
(1) I suspect that should be either Py_Initialize() or Py_InitializeEx(). (2) Other functions can also be called first. The ones I notice are: (2a) Py_IsInitialized() wouldn't be useful if you couldn't call it first. (2b) Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding explicitly says it *should* be called before Py_Initialize, if it is called at all. (Probably applies to earlier python versions as well.) ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 302179 nosy: Jim.Jewett, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Py_Initialize documentation wrong versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31470> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
