I don't care about what name you pick, and my ExEx proposal was meant to include half a wink, but http://docs.python.org/c-api/import.html makes it clear that PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx() is far from private! (I don't know where Barry got that idea.) While Google Code Search finds mostly references to PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx in the Python source code and various copies of it, it also shows some real uses, e.g. http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#bkFK9YpaWlI/ubuntu/pool/universe/y/yehia/yehia_0.5.4.orig.tar.gz|PZ0_Xf7QzC0/yehia-0.5.4.orig/plugins/python/python-loader.cc&q=PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) _______________________________________________ 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
