Hi friends,
when implementing the limited API for PySide2, I recognized
a little bug where a function was replaced by a macro.
The file number.rst on python 3.6 says
"""
.. c:function:: int PyIndex_Check(PyObject *o)
Returns ``1`` if *o* is an index integer (has the nb_index slot of the
tp_as_number structure filled in), and ``0`` otherwise.
"""
Without notice, this function was replaced by a macro a while
ago, which reads
#define PyIndex_Check(obj) \
((obj)->ob_type->tp_as_number != NULL && \
(obj)->ob_type->tp_as_number->nb_index != NULL)
This contradicts PEP 384, because there is no way for non-heaptype
types to access the nb_index field.
If nobody objects, I would like to submit a patch that adds the
function back when the limited API is active.
I think to fix that before Python 3.7 is out.
Ciao -- Chris
