[issue7353] Why was Include/intobject.h removed in 3.1?
Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com added the comment: However, that header file was removed in this commit: http://svn.python.org/view?view=revrevision=71697 Hmm. That was me. with this message: Issue #4910: PyNumber_Int is deprecated in 3.0.1; will be removed in 3.1. That's the message for r69517, I think, which just added an entry to Include/intobject.h. The message for r71697 was: The comments at the top of intobject.h say that it will be removed in 3.1. Make it so. I'm not too sure of the history here, but I suspect that Include/intobject.h was at least partly an aid to porting the Python extension modules from 2.x to 3.0, rather than third-party modules. Christian, Benjamin: any comments? I'm -1 on resurrecting Include/intobject.h in its old location. I don't much like the idea of having a random include file that's no longer used by Python itself in the main Include directory; it'll likely succumb to bitrot before long. But maybe there's a place for 2-to-3 porting aids in the Tools directory, where there's less expectation that files are well-maintained? Is is acceptable if I ship that header file in my distribution packages of python-3.1.1 ? (possibly with a reworded deprecation warning?) I can't see any problem with this. I agree the porting documentation needs to be updated, whatever happens. -- assignee: - georg.brandl components: +Documentation nosy: +benjamin.peterson, christian.heimes, georg.brandl, mark.dickinson ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7353 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue7353] Why was Include/intobject.h removed in 3.1?
New submission from Dave Malcolm dmalc...@redhat.com: I'm attempting to package Python 3 for a Linux distribution, together with a stack of python extension modules; I'm currently using Python-3.1.1. (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python3F13 ) Many of these extension modules are close to compiling under both python 2 and python 3. The page http://wiki.python.org/moin/PortingExtensionModulesToPy3k; refers to using the macros in intobject.h, so that all PyInt_* calls in the python 3 build are aliased to PyLong_ API hooks. Similarly, the page: http://docs.python.org/howto/cporting.html recommends using this file. However, that header file was removed in this commit: http://svn.python.org/view?view=revrevision=71697 with this message: Issue #4910: PyNumber_Int is deprecated in 3.0.1; will be removed in 3.1. (which links to this issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue4910 ; that issue refers to removal of the nb_long slot). This seems to make it harder to port modules. Is is acceptable if I ship that header file in my distribution packages of python-3.1.1 ? (possibly with a reworded deprecation warning?) Alternatively, is the fix to migrate all usage of the PyInt_ API to the PyLong_ equivalents ? That would cause a change of behavior for the python 2 builds, assuming a shared source tree. (I'd much prefer to ship the latest in the py3k branch than to stay with 3.0.1 for this) In any case, it seems like the porting documentation isn't in sync with the code. Hope this is helpful. -- components: Interpreter Core messages: 95455 nosy: dmalcolm severity: normal status: open title: Why was Include/intobject.h removed in 3.1? versions: Python 3.1 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7353 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
