[Python-Dev] frozenset C API? (original) (raw)

I'm looking at building a "frozenset" instance as a return value from a C function, and the C API seems ridiculously clumsy. Maybe I'm misunderstanding it. Apparently, I need to create a list object, then pass that to PyFrozenSet_New(), then decref the list object.

Is that correct?

What I'd like is something more like

 PyFrozenSet_NEW(int) => PySetObject *
 PyFrozenSet_SET_ITEM(s, i, v)

Any idea why these aren't part of the API?

Bill
