STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
I suggest to close this issue. We are free to remove private functions in minor releases (3.9.x) without any warning. Private functions are excluded from the backward compatibility warranty. For example: "Names prefixed by an underscore, such as _Py_InternalState, are private API that can change without notice even in patch releases." https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/stable.html#stable In C, it's easy to call the decode() method of a string object and pass the expected encoding and error handler. ---------- nosy: +vstinner _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45778> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
