Hi,
I was wondering if there is some reason why C API functions like
PyObject_CallMethod[1] and PySys_GetObject[2] take char* arguments
rather than const char*s? If there is some reason these methods will
modify their string arguments, it would be nice if it was documented,
because at the moment it's unclear whether it is safe to cast a string
literal to char* in these cases. For instance it seems reasonable that
I should be able to call PySys_GetObject("path") without having to
deal with a 'deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’'
error.
Thanks,
