The later is addressed by issue 1699259 <http://bugs.python.org/issue1699259>. It looks like const was added in 3.2, but deemed not important enough to backport to 2.7. The issue is still open, so interested parties can argue for backport there. The former (PyObject_CallMethod) is similarly subject of an open issue in a commit review stage: <http://bugs.python.org/issue9369>. _______________________________________________ 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
