I suppose I'd like to know what the value of _Py_IDENTIFIER() is for 3rd party modules. They can already use PyUnicode_InternFromString() to get a "global" object and then store it in their module state. I would not expect _Py_IDENTIFIER() to provide much of an advantage over that. Perhaps I'm missing something? If there is a real benefit then we should definitely figure out a good public API for it (if the current private one isn't sufficient). I won't be authoring that PEP though. :) -eric _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/AVJKKWITJPHUQTE2IXDYBCTQTKVPZPD7/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
