Not sure that I agree there is a testing need to clear all caches regardless of what they do. Test code should explicitly state whether it relies on a particular cache being cleared at some particular point in time. Also, the concept of "need to clear all caches" isn't well-formed. Would you want sys.intern caches to be cleared? What about the internal caches in SQLite? And do you think polling for a new magic attribute is the right approach? We would get looser coupling and better control by letting modules register themselves as needed. --- re.py --- sys.register_cache_clear_function(callback=purge, doc='pattern cache and re cache') --- ipaddress.py -- sys.register(IPv4Address.is_private.is_getter.cache_clear, doc='check for private networks) ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36485> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
