In Python3 PySys_SetArgv takes (wchar_t **) for the argv, I looked into converting a (char **) into a (wchar_t **) and while its possible its lengthy enough not to be trivial, see python.c:18 - char2wcharm(), its 102 lines with ifdef's and goto's, not including the loop lower down that loops over the argv.
Looking further python has a very similar function for ./PC/bdist_wininst/install.c, for do_run_installscript - widen_string(). Since many C applications take argv as a (char **) it seems reasonable for python to keep a function for the C api that accepts a (char **) argument for argv. otherwise each C applications that embeds python will need to write their own conversion function. also noticed Demo/embed/demo.c is out of date, giving (char **) to PySys_SetArgv(). -- - Campbell _______________________________________________ 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
