Well, Py_DECREF is not trivial at all, since it can invoke arbitrary Python code (through e.g. weakref callbacks, or by releasing the GIL). Therefore, I would say any code is allowed from tp_clear :-) > If file.close() can be an arbitrary python method, then it can no more > be called from gc, than an object's __del__ method.

Again, a Py_DECREF in tp_dealloc can invoke arbitrary Python code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9141> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
