Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: As a matter of principle, garbage collection in Python should *always* work, for all types, except for the one documented exception (cycles involving __del__). Failure of a type to properly garbage collect should be considered as serious as an interpreter crash; I hence propose this issue as release blocker.
In addition, failure to support tp_traverse means that gc.get_referents doesn't work for the type, which is an inconvenience even in regular (non-cyclic) usage. ---------- priority: normal -> release blocker _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14065> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
