> This simple patch allows... > PyList_APPEND(list, PyFloat_FromDouble(x)) This isn't a good idea because the error checking for the inner function is lost. The current API encourages keeping one function per line so that the ref counting and error-checking are more obvious. Also, I'm not too keen on adding second-ways-to-do-it. The C API is already somewhat fat, making it harder to learn and remember. The current API has standard patterns of creating and consuming references. Introducing variants that don't follow those patterns makes it harder to review code and determine that it is correct. It is better to learn to use the API as designed than to commingle two different styles. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6616> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
