There's already a Python implementation of what's described in the paper. It's called ZODB. :) Just use the memory backend if you don't want the objects to persist. Granted, if you want automatic retry you'll need to create a decorator that catches conflict errors. But basically, ZODB implements a similar optimistic conflict management transaction algorithm to that described in the paper. Certainly, it's the closest thing you can get in CPython without a complete redesign of the VM. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
