according to the wikipedia entry on dlls, dlls do not support data, only functions. which would explain two things: 1) why certain modules are forcibly linked into pythonNN.dll 2) why attempts to move them out of pythonNN.dll cause runtime crashes. so i will continue the experiment, and remove all the "data" references from the pythonNN.def that i added, and deal with the knock-on consequences, which will involve adding "get" functions.
for example, PyAPI_FUNC(char*) _PyStructSequence_Get_UnnamedField(void) use of such functions will allow various bits and pieces - such as PyStructSequence_UnnamedField - to be converted back to static in their respective c files. any objections, speak now, because this will involve quite a bit of work. l. _______________________________________________ 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
