Josh, I agree - but do read Armin's response. The string hack was done inside ceval.c, where we have extraordinary knowledge of context. Adding similar hacks inside Python C API functions seems to be a non-starter - they can't magically start mutating arguments based on refcounts alone. Armin's dead-simple example is compelling. So if this is desirable at all, it would need to get hairier. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36229> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
