Hi, with the new Unicode API, there are many checks like: + if (PyUnicode_READY(*filename)) + goto handle_error; Every time I read it, I get it wrong: "If filename is ready, then fail" then I have to remember that the function returns either 0 or -1. I'd prefer it was written : if (PyUnicode_READY(*filename) < 0) because "< 0" clearly indicates an error condition. That's how all calls to PyType_Ready are written, for example. Am I the only one to be distracted by this idiom? -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc
