From 7bf9715a8b794cb743fdac97a9014102985a3dd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fred Drake Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2002 05:33:33 +0000 Subject: Introduce two new flag bits that can be set in a PyMethodDef method descriptor, as used for the tp_methods slot of a type. These new flag bits are both optional, and mutually exclusive. Most methods will not use either. These flags are used to create special method types which exist in the same namespace as normal methods without having to use tedious construction code to insert the new special method objects in the type's tp_dict after PyType_Ready() has been called. If METH_CLASS is specified, the method will represent a class method like that returned by the classmethod() built-in. If METH_STATIC is specified, the method will represent a static method like that returned by the staticmethod() built-in. These flags may not be used in the PyMethodDef table for modules since these special method types are not meaningful in that case; a ValueError will be raised if these flags are found in that context. --- Doc/api/newtypes.tex | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- Include/methodobject.h | 8 +++++++- Objects/methodobject.c | 2 +- Objects/typeobject.c | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- Python/modsupport.c | 7 +++++++ 5 files changed, 74 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/api/newtypes.tex b/Doc/api/newtypes.tex index 8ab8e3c..b4f90e5 100644 --- a/Doc/api/newtypes.tex +++ b/Doc/api/newtypes.tex @@ -152,8 +152,12 @@ a cast in the method table.
