As to the docs, the entry for tp_alloc in Doc/c-api/typeobj.rst does not mention initialization. The tp_new entry does say that it should call tp_alloc and then do the minimum initialization possible. That implies (weakly) that tp_alloc should do the minimum initialization possible. Could you point me to the place where the docs talk about tp_alloc and initialization? That would be useful to see. Regardless, having the tp_alloc entry explicitly say it shouldn't do any initialization does make sense. Feel free to open a separate issue on that. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue23869> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
