[Python-Dev] Heap allocate type structs in native extension modules? (original) (raw)

I imagine Cython already takes care of this?

I have a Python program which generates the boilerplate code for native extension modules from a Python source definition. (http://bitbucket.org/hughfisher/fullofeels if interested.)

The examples in the Python doco and the "Python Essential Reference" book all use a statically declared PyTypeObject struct and PyTypeReady in the module init func, so I'm doing the same. Then Python 3.5 added a check for statically allocated types inheriting from heap types, which broke a couple of my classes. And now I'm trying to add a dict to native classes so end users can add their> own attributes, and this is turning out to be painful with static PyTypeObject structs Would it be better to use dynamically allocated type structs in native modules?> -- cheers, Hugh Fisher
