Barry A. Warsaw added the comment: I like the idea of a gen 4 that never gets collected. This would have been useful for the original problem that inspired me to add the `generation` argument to `gc.collect()`. The nice thing about this, is just as you suggest: you could force a collection of gen 4 by `gc.collect(3)`.
It's unfortunate that you'd have to add a bit to handle this, but maybe you're right that we only really need three generations. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31558> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
