Message 100560 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

If anyone's interested in submitting a patch, it would be welcome.

Sure. I saw where this was partly addressed in r78690. The attached patch adds support for the 'index' conversion that Mark suggested.

At first glance, the patch may seem more than what is needed. However, most of the diffs are due to pulling parts of the C implementation into a Python veneer. This will make preprocessing work (like what was needs for this fix) easier now and in the future. In addition, it will lay a small amount of groundwork for the changes that are needed for resolving issue 3132. As that work will be simplified by having the veneer as well.
