Actually, I think we don't need such a test any more, or we could use this one as a heuristic test: I have written a script that scans all relevant header files and analyses all sections which are reachable in the limited API context. All macros that don't begin with an underscore which contain a "->tp_" string are the locations which will break. I found exactly 7 locations where this is the case. My PR will contain the 7 fixes plus the analysis script to go into tools. Preparind that in the evening. cheers -- Chris -- Christian Tismer-Sperling :^) tis...@stackless.com Software Consulting : http://www.stackless.com/ Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 121 : http://pyside.org 14482 Potsdam : GPG key -> 0xFB7BEE0E phone +49 173 24 18 776 fax +49 (30) 700143-0023
