Re: [Python-Dev] PEP 384 status

Please consider this: even without relying on PEP 384, using FILE* is /already/ dangerous; because you might compile an extension with a different compiler version than Python was compiled with.

It's only dangerous *if* you compile with a different compiler. That's why we take serious precautions that you never ever do. For example, distutils will, by default, refuse to use a different compiler. Regards, Martin
