Hello, Python currently has an API to deal with size_t-like numbers (Py_ssize_t, PyNumber_AsSsize_t), but it doesn't have similar facilities for off_t.
Is it ok to add the following: * a Py_off_t type which is typedef'd to either Py_LONG_LONG (Windows) or off_t (others) * three C API functions: PyNumber_AsOff_t, PyLong_AsOff_t, PyLong_FromOff_t * an additional type code for PyArg_ParseTuple and friends; I suggest 'N' since 'n' currently means Py_ssize_t, and a Py_off_t should always be at least as wide as a Py_ssize_t ? (the motivation is systems where Py_ssize_t is 32-bits wide, but large file support makes off_t 64 bits wide) Thanks Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
