New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com>:
The C code of Python initialization uses _PyCoreConfig and _PyMainInterpreterConfig which co-exist and more or less redundant. For example, both structures have "argv": wchar_** for _PyCoreConfig, PyObject* (list of str) for _PyMainInterpreterConfig. I propose to put _PyCoreConfig inside _PyMainInterpreterConfig and move wchar_t* strings into a new _PyPreConfig structure. The main idea is that _PyPreConfig and wchar_* type are only used for early Python initialization, but once Python is initialization, the configuration should be provided as Python objects. I didn't check all configuration variables to see if it's doable or not, but I wrote a proof-of-concept pull request to show my idea with concrete (and working!) code. See attached PR. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 330005 nosy: eric.snow, ncoghlan, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add _PyPreConfig and rework _PyCoreConfig and _PyMainInterpreterConfig versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35266> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
