I like the updated glossary - very good summary of the relevant terminology and common points of confusion. One minor gripe below (and it *is* minor, despite the amount of text explaining my point of view...) On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 11:58 AM, Jim Jewett wrote: > Real Time > - > > Time in

Glossary Absolute Time - A measurement of time since a specific Epoch_, typically far in the past. Civil Time is the most common example. Typically contrasted with a `Duration`_, as (now - epoch) is generally much larger than any duration that can be appropriately measured

Re: [Python-Dev] What do PyAPI_FUNC & PyAPI_DATA mean?

2012-04-23 Thread Kristján Valur Jónsson
IMHO, we are _much_ too generous at applying this to almost whatever gets exposed between .c files. I have created something called the "restricted" api for our custom python27.dll where I use different macros (PyAPI_RFUNC, pyAPI_RDATA) to mean that things aren't exported for "restricted" builds

[Python-Dev] What do PyAPI_FUNC & PyAPI_DATA mean?

2012-04-23 Thread Mark Shannon
Many (most?) of the function declarations in the CPython header files are annotated with the PyAPI_FUNC declaration. Similarly for data declarations and PyAPI_DATA What do they mean, exactly? From the name I would expect that they are a way of declaring a function or datum to be part of the API,
