[various people debating how to steal a bit from an existing PyObject member]
Let's stop this. It's a "bike shed" argument: even if we had 1000 spare bits, it wouldn't do any good. Having a bit to record whether an object has been finalized doesn't solve any problem that's been raised recently (it doesn't cure any problems with resurrection, for example). Even if we wanted it just to support a slow, dubious way to collect trash cycles containing objects with __del__ methods, gcmodule.c would need major rewriting to make that happen. If someone is interested enough to do that, fine, but it sure ain't me ;-) _______________________________________________ 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
