New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com>:
C API functions like PyDict_GetItem() and PyObject_HasAttr() suppresses all errors that may occur, including MemoryError and KeyboardInterrupt. They can return incorrect result when the memory is exhausted or the user presses Ctrl-C. The proposed PR documents such functions and suggests the C API which do not swallow unrelated exceptions. Previous attempt to document this (for PyDict_GetItem() only) was in issue20615. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 331620 nosy: docs@python, rhettinger, ronaldoussoren, serhiy.storchaka, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document C API functions which swallow exceptions type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35461> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
