Accessing C++ flags from Python #200

Open jiawen opened 2 years ago

This section of the guide has been "forthcoming" for some time. Is there any timeline on this?

The definition of class Flag, there appear to be some Google internals that "leak" out but are unused.

They seem to be used in absltest.py but is otherwise not well documented.

Sorry we don't have a timeline.

There is some recent news though, one of the blockers were the Abseil C++ logging API. That was released this month: https://abseil.io/blog/20220908-logging

So technically we could start the (non-trivial) design work, but we haven't been able to prioritize it yet.
