<pre wrap="">I'd like to resolve a long-standing issue of the stable ABI in 3.4:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bugs.python.org/issue17162">http://bugs.python.org/issue17162</a>
The issue is that, since PyTypeObject is opaque, module authors cannot
get at tp_free, which they may need to in order to implement tp_dealloc
properly.
Rather than providing the proposed specific wrapper for tp_dealloc, I
propose to add a generic PyType_GetSlot function. From a stability point
of view, exposing slot values is uncritical - it's just that the layout
of the type object is hidden.
Any objection to adding this before RC1?

So this would be a new public ABI function?<br>
<br>
Would it be 100% new code, or would you need to refactor code
internally to achieve it?<br>
<br>
In general I'm in favor of it but I'd like to review the patch
before it goes in.<br>
<br>
Also, just curious: what is typeslots.h used for? I tried searching
for a couple of those macros, and their only appearance in trunk was
their definition.<br>
<br>
