Subject: At 2.2, the Py<type>_Check() family of API functions (macros) changed
X-Git-Tag: v2.4a1~1045
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f72af655c5ba41b6358656aafbe4ddeaf5a962ba;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

At 2.2, the Py<type>_Check() family of API functions (macros) changed
semantics to include subtypes.  Most concrete object APIs then had
a Py<type>_CheckExact() macro added to test for an object's type
not including subtypes.

The PyDict_CheckExact() macro wasn't created at that time, so I've added
it for API completeness/symmetry - even though nobody has complained
about its absence in the time since 2.2 was released.

Not a backport candidate.
