Larry Hastings <la...@hastings.org> added the comment:
Mark Dickinson: no extension module would ever *need* it. One could
reproduce the functionality with stub intermediary functions, as follows:
PyObject *my_getter_with_context(PyObject *self, void *context) {
/* ... /
}
PyObject *my_getter_A(PyObject *self) {
return my_getter_with_context(self, "A");
}
PyObject *my_getter_B(PyObject *self) {
return my_getter_with_context(self, "B");
}
/* etc. */
The body of Python extension code shows that this facility is rarely
needed. And folks that need it can roll their own.
It's a minor thing, but I think it's worth doing, if we're willing to
break compatibility in this way.
Anyway, I'm gonna float it on python-dev.
