where is the PyString_AsString in Python 3.0?

[BigHand]

Guys:
I know that there is no PyString_AsString in Python3.0,
could you guys give me instruction about how can I do with the
following ?

PyObject *exc_type = NULL, *exc_value = NULL, *exc_tb = NULL;
PyErr_Fetch(&exc_type, &exc_value, &exc_tb);

how do I transfer the exc_type in a char* ?

thanks in advance!.

There is no PyString_AsString. Everything string is unicode now. (PyUnicode API)

hello,Ben,
could you give me an example? I almost know the PyUnicode API,but the
docs of 3.0 is too brief for me.

PyString_FromString -> PyUnicode_FromString
PyString_Concat -> PyUnicode_Concat
etc...

To get a char * you have to explicitly encode the string with
PyUnicode_AsEncodedString.

thanks Ben!

Finally I got the results now. This did take me 10 hours to solve
this. the docs of 3.0......
I hope this could help someone else:

PyObject *exc_type = NULL, *exc_value = NULL, *exc_tb = NULL;
PyErr_Fetch(&exc_type, &exc_value, &exc_tb);
PyObject* str_exc_type = PyObject_Repr(exc_type); //Now a unicode
object
PyObject* pyStr = PyUnicode_AsEncodedString(str_exc_type, "utf-8",
"Error ~");
const char *strExcType = PyBytes_AS_STRING(pyStr);
Py_XDECREF(str_exc_type);
Py_XDECREF(pyStr);

Py_XDECREF(exc_type);
Py_XDECREF(exc_value);
Py_XDECREF(exc_tb);

You can't Py_DECREF() pyStr while holding on to strExcType because
PyBytes_AS_STRING just yields a reference to the internal contents of the object.

Are you sure you want the exc_type and not the exc_value? The only major
thing I'd do with the type of an exception is to let Python check for it
using PyErr_ExceptionMatches().

You will have to get used to Unicode. The code you used against the C-API
mimics almost exactly the steps you'd use at the Python level.
