This feature seems to be driven by Instagram use case. Are there other users who would benefit of that? Is it a common use case to load big data and then fork to use preloaded data? PR 19474 has a maintenance cost: * new configuration option * new macro * need a buildbot to check that the option is not broken * document the change * etc. There is even now a question about using a different ABI flag. It's not the common case to build a custom Python manually for a specific use case. Most users use a binary shipped by their operating system. I'm not sure that it's worth it for Python to maintain such special build. Maybe bpo-39511 would be a better motivation to support immortable objects. But I'm also concerned by the huge impact on performance :-( ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40255> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
