Sure, but in the absence of anyone providing a patch for CPython, it is still a possible resolution.

Cesare already posted a patch based on using EXTENDED_ARG. Should we reopen that old ticket or create a new one ?

I can provide another patch that will not use EXTENDED_ARG (no VM changes), and uses *args and/or **kwargs function calls when there are more than 255 arguments or keyword arguments.

But I need some days.

If needed, I'll post it at most on this week-end.
