@@ -103,6 +103,12 @@ Build C API +- The documentation for the tp_compare slot is updated to require that + the return value must be -1, 0, 1; an arbitrary number <0 or >0 is + not correct. This is not yet enforced but will be enforced in + Python 2.3; even later, we may use -2 to indicate errors and +2 for + "NotImplemented". Right now, -1 should be used for an error return. + - PyLong_AsLongLong() now accepts int (as well as long) arguments. Consequently, PyArg_ParseTuple's 'L' code also accepts int (as well as long) arguments. |
