New submission from William Pickard <lollol22...@gmail.com>:
The current goal from what I can tell for Python is to have all C based modules move away from static types and instead use "PyType_FromSpec" and the variant that specifies base classes. The only problem is, PyType_FromSpec and it's variant makes the assumption the caller wants "PyType_Type" as the type's metaclass. Why not add companion methods to them prefixed with "PyMetaType" and have the "PyType" ones internally invoke these new methods with "PyType_Type" as the metaclass (to keep existing behavior and backwards compatibility) ---------- components: C API messages: 372696 nosy: WildCard65 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Create companion methods of "PyType_FromSpec*" to allow setting metaclass. type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41171> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
