Nice project.
One quick thought: Any crasher that relies on gc.get_referrers() should
not be considered a bug.
Right. That is on the list of crashers I am ignoring.
The codebase should not be convoluted,
complexified, obfucated, altered, touched, or slowed down just prevent
perverse, sadistic safe-cracking using this tool. The docs are clear on
this subject:
"Care must be taken when using objeccts returned by get_referrers()
becasue some of them could still be under construction and hence in a
temporarily invalid state. Avoid using get_referrers() for any purpose
other than debugging."
And I am trying to make sure all the fixes are not superfluous but fix actual issues in the code and behaviour of Python.
