Serhiy Storchaka proposed to use a single C array for positional and keyword arguments. Keyword arguments are passed as (key, value) pairs. I just added this function: PyAPI_FUNC(PyObject *) _PyObject_FastCallKeywords( PyObject *func, PyObject **stack, Py_ssize_t nargs, Py_ssize_t nkwargs); The function is not used yet. Serhiy proposed to enhance the functions to parse arguments to support this format to pass arguments which would allow to avoid the creation of a temporary dictionary in many cases. I proposed to use this format (instead of (PyObject **stack, Py_ssize_t nargs, PyObject *kwargs)) for a new METH_FASTCALL calling convention for C functions: https://bugs.python.org/issue27810 Victor _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
