pytalloc: Add a warning about enable_null_tracking

2016-07-19T11:41:12+00:00

If it is called in the middle of a script such as samba-tool, memory
would be hanging from both the actual NULL context and the
talloc_null_context (causing a segfault at system_exit).

pytalloc: Add pytalloc_BaseObject_PyType_Ready() wrapper

2016-03-08T00:58:29+00:00

This avoids the need for the caller to set tp_base and tp_basicsize and
so removes those as possible errors.

pytalloc: Add new BaseObject

2016-03-08T00:58:26+00:00

This new object not only avoids the ABI issues of talloc.Object
it stores one more pointer, being the start of the array, and
so can be used to fix the PIDL bindings/talloc refcount issue.

pytalloc: Port to Python 3

2015-05-19T17:28:18+00:00

- Use native string for repr

- Use rich comparison
  Removes the deprecated tp_compare in favor of tp_richcompare.
  Disparate types cannot be compared (except for == and !=),
  and True or False objects are returned explicitly.

- Use Py_TYPE instead of ob_type
  This changed to conform to C aliasing rules,
  see http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3123/

- Don't provide CObject creation function
  A PyCapsule based replacement would be possible,
  but might not be necessary considering the function is
  not used much.

- Use new-style module initialization

Build changes:

- Use ABI flag in the lib name and pkg-config template

- Use the SAMBA_CHECK_PYTHON macro for finding Python
