All in all, I like it. Nice job. On 08/25/2017 03:32 PM, Yury Selivanov wrote:
A *context variable* is an object representing a value in the execution context. A new context variable is created by calling the ``new_context_var()`` function. A context variable object has two methods: * ``lookup()``: returns the value of the variable in the current execution context; * ``set()``: sets the value of the variable in the current execution context.
Why "lookup" and not "get" ? Many APIs use "get" and it's functionality is well understood.
Conceptually, an *execution context* (EC) is a stack of logical contexts. There is one EC per Python thread. A *logical context* (LC) is a mapping of context variables to their values in that particular LC.
Still don't like the name of "logical context", but we can bike-shed on that later. -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
