Very probably - bug reports outside the tracker are likely to go unnoticed
or forgotten.
It's not so clear what's the intended usage - chars are also integers in
C. (I prefer the current behavior, but certainly it may be wrong in
several places).

I wanted to use the h2py.py script (Tools/scripts/h2py.py) and it didn't
like char litterals :

Skipping: PC_ERROR = ord()

where my *.h file contained :

#define PC_ERROR '0'

I searched the web and found a post with the same error :

but it got no replies, I tried the fix and it works. I have the

1) Why did it not get any attention, is something wrong with it?
2) If nothing is wrong, did the fix not get applied because a bug report
wasn't filed?

or forgotten.
3) Isn't turning a char literal into the ordinal value not contrary to
what a C programmer had in mind when he/she defined it? I mean if you
define a char literal then in python you would have used a string value :
>
#define PC_ERROR '0'
>
would become :
>
PC_ERROR = '0'
>
in python, and if you intended to use the char type for an 8 bit
numerical value you would have done :
>
#define PC_ERROR 0x30
>
where 0x30 is the '0' ascii hex value, so shouldn'it the line in the
diff (see the post) be :
>
body = p_char.sub("'\\ 1'", body)
>
instead of :
>
body = p_char.sub("ord ('\\1')", body)
