Re: [Python-Dev] Extending types in C - help needed

Jan. 17, 2002


      ...
Currently (after quite some time) I have the impression that you
cannot create a subtype of PyType_Type in C because PyType_Type
ends in a variable sized array, at least not in this way:
struct {
    PyTypeObject type;
    ...additional fields...
} WrapperType_Type;
Can someone confirm this?
Yes, alas.  The type you would have to declare is 'etype', a private
type in typeobject.c.
