Removed -[OC_PythonObject pyObject]

[schriftgestalt]

I do use this method in my code like this to extract the text of the traceback:

- (BOOL)reportPythonException:(NSException *)exception {
	NSDictionary *userInfo = [exception userInfo];
	PyObject *traceback = [userInfo[@"__pyobjc_exc_traceback__"] pyObject];
	if (traceback) {
		PyGILState_STATE gilState = PyGILState_Ensure();
		PyObject *type = [userInfo[@"__pyobjc_exc_type__"] pyObject];
		PyObject *value = [userInfo[@"__pyobjc_exc_value__"] pyObject];
		PyObject *mod = PyImport_ImportModule("traceback");
		if (!mod) {
			return NO;
		}
		PyObject *list = PyObject_CallMethod(mod, "format_exception", "OOO", type, value, traceback);
		…

Is there a better way to do this?

(I mean the changes in #393)

That's an interesting use case.

The alternative is to call [value __pyobjc_PythonObject__], which will return a new reference (that is, you'll have to call Py_DECREF on the result). This will also work in older versions.

I'll have to think about a cleaner solution for this, my alternative is still an implementation detail and will break if I ever add support for CPython sub interpreters to PyObjC. That won't be anytime soon though, there are several blockers on the CPython side.

That works. Thanks.

I'm leaving this issue open with an updated title, there should be a documented and tested way to do this.
