here is a starting list of data items which will require "getter" functions, found just by creating a posixmodule.pyd: Info: resolving __Py_NoneStruct by linking to __imp___Py_NoneStruct (auto-import) Info: resolving _Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding by linking to __imp__Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding (auto-import) Info: resolving _PyExc_OSError by linking to __imp__PyExc_OSError (auto-import) Info: resolving _PyUnicode_Type by linking to __imp__PyUnicode_Type (auto-import) Info: resolving _PyFloat_Type by linking to __imp__PyFloat_Type (auto-import) Info: resolving _PyExc_TypeError by linking to __imp__PyExc_TypeError (auto-impoModules/posixmodule.ort) Info: resolving _PyExc_RuntimeError by linking to __imp__PyExc_RuntimeError (auto-import) Info: resolving _PyExc_ValueError by linking to __imp__PyExc_ValueError (auto-import) Info: resolving _PyExc_RuntimeWarning by linking to __imp__PyExc_RuntimeWarning (auto-import) Info: resolving _PyExc_NotImplementedError by linking to __imp__PyExc_NotImplementedError (auto-import) obviously, auto-import can't happen. so getter-functions it is. l. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
