Of particular interest to bsddb is the pep3118 buffer API. I updated the existing bsddb module found in the py3k branch to use it last fall; you may want to use the changes made to it as an example.
I agree, a single C code base is the only sane way forward for bsddb. The interesting part is that you also want to support older python versions (2.3-2.5?) as well so _bsddb.c & bsddb.h become a nice example of how to write code that spans multiple python versions. I expect it is less difficult than it sounds. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3118/ I believe the buffer api is supposed to be backported to 2.6? I haven't followed the status of that. If so, bsddb should use it in 2.6 as well. -gps On Sat, May 24, 2008 at 9:25 PM, Jesus Cea <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I can't find any PEP about detailed 2.6 -> 3000 migration guidelines, > specially in the module (C code) extension area.
