I will have a look. > Short of that, I don't think Python needs to support explicit deletion > of the encodings module from sys.modules when somebody still has a > reference to the search function. Don't do that, then. =) Yeah. As of this moment I am leaving __builtin__, exceptions, encodings, codecs, encodings.utf_8, warnings, and sys. I am deleting all other modules after Py_Initialize finishes its thing. I need to do a security audit on all of those modules before I permanently let them stick around (which is what I was hoping to avoid). I am also hoping make the sys module not be required to stay since it is only there because of the amount of stuff that is put into the module before its __dict__ is cached by the import machinery. -Brett _______________________________________________ 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
