[Python-Dev] Improvements for Porting C Extension from 2 to 3 (original) (raw)

Hi,

While porting a C extension from 2 to 3, I realized that there are some general cases which can be automated. For example, for my specific application (yappi - http://code.google.com/p/yappi/), all I need to do is following things:

  1. define PyModuleDef
  2. change PyString_AS_STRING calls to _PyUnicode_AsString
  3. change module init code a little.

It occurred to me all these kind of standart changes can be automated via a script.

Not sure on the usability of this however, because of my limited knowledge on the area.

Does such a tool worth being implemented?
