Answering Eric's question about the flag variables though: * pymain_get_global_config copies the global variable flags to their respective struct entries * pymain_set_global_config copies the various struct entries to their respective global variable flags One of the first things that Py_Main() does in 3.7 is to: - read the global variable flags into the relevant structs - update the structs based on the CLI options - write the struct values back to the global flags This mostly fakes the 3.6-and-earlier behaviour of using the global variables directly. For anything listed in https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/init.html#global-configuration-variables, we also mostly left any code reading the global variable directly alone, since they're considered a public API for embedding applications to dynamically adjust behaviour and we don't have a good way of deprecating using them for that purpose :( ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33932> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
