[Python-Dev] C99 code in the Python core?

I have a general question and a specific question. First the general one: (1) When is it okay to use C99 code in the Python core? More particularly, is it considered acceptable to use widely-implemented library functions that are specified in C99 but not ANSI C, or widely-implemented features

(1) When is it okay to use C99 code in the Python core? More particularly, is it considered acceptable to use widely-implemented library functions that are specified in C99 but not ANSI C, or widely-implemented features that are new to C99? [C99 is also ANSI C, IIUC. ANSI has adopted ISO/IEC

[Python-Dev] bytearray and array.array are not thread-safe

Hello, Short story: bytearray and array.array by construction allow user code to reallocate their internal memory buffer. But a raw pointer to the said buffer can also be obtained by another thread, and used after releasing the GIL (for CPU-intensive operations like compression). As a

[Python-Dev] Packing and unpacking integers

A few years ago (yes, it's been that long), I proposed adding a new format code to struct that would pack integers as strings, similar to the 's' format code. In particular, struct.pack('60G', v) would be a 60-byte big-endian unsigned integer as a string. The feature request is
