Re: [Python-Dev] Use of PyArg_NoArgs()

Should the use of PyArg_NoArgs() be deprecated?

Probably. Even if used with METH_OLDARSG, it doesn't produce as nice an error message because it doesn't know the name of the function it is being called for. There should be strong encouragement to shift to using METH_NOARGS in code that doesn't need to be compatible with older versions of Python. (And the code distributed with Python certainly seems to fall into that category!)

There are many uses (53) throughout Modules/*.c. It seems that this check is not useful anymore if the MethodDef is set to METH_NOARGS. Is this correct? If so, I can make a patch.

Please do. Thanks! -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> PythonLabs at Zope Corporation
