My intent was not to suggest that anyone directly use the _objects value / dict in production code. It's a private implementation detail. I was demonstrating the problem of simply releasing the buffer and the large number of checks that would be required if b_ptr is cleared. It would be simpler for a release() method to allocate new memory for the object and set the b_needsfree flag, but this may hide bugs. Operating on a released object should raise an exception. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
