[Python-Dev] setobject code

Sat Jun 17 05:49:23 CEST 2006

I would like to share a couple of observations that I made as I 
studied the latest setobject implementation.
1. Is there a reason not to have PySet_CheckExact, given that 
PyFrozenSet_CheckExact exists? Similarly, why PyAnySet_Check, but no 
PySet_Check or PyFrozenSet_Check?
2. Type of several data members in dict-object and dict-entry structs 
were recently changed to Py_ssize_t . Whatever considerations 
prompted the change, they should probably apply to the similar 
members of set-object and set-entry structs as well.
