As context for anyone not familiar with the time module precedent that Guido mentioned, we have a C level `PyStructSequence` that provides some of the most essential namedtuple features, but not all of them: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Objects/structseq.c
So there's potentially a case to be made for:
1. Including the struct sequence header from "Python.h" and making it part of the stable ABI 2. Documenting it in the C API reference
+1 -- I was just thinking this morning that a C-level named tuple would be nice. And certainly better than re-implementing it in various places it is needed. Would there be any benefit in making a C implementation available from Python? -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
