.. but it *is* a macro resolving to either PyUnicodeUCS2_GetMax or PyUnicodeUCS4_GetMax. What is the scenario when may want to change what PyUnicodeUCS?_GetMax return and have extensions pick up the change without a recompile? UCS2 case will certainly never change since it is already 0xFFFF. Is it possible that USC4 will be expanded beyond 0x10FFFF? Note that we can have both a macro and a function version. This is fairly standard practice in Python C-API. _______________________________________________ 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
