Hi, I'm writing a new PyTypeObject that is base type, supports cyclic GC, and has a tp_dictoffset. If my type is sub-typed by a python class, what exactly are the rules for how I'm supposed to treat my PyDict object with regards to cyclic GC? Do I still visit it in my traverse () function if I'm subtyped? Do I decrement the refcount upon dealloc? By the documentation, I'm assuming I should always be using _PyObject_GetDictPtr() to be accessing the dictionary, which I do. But visiting the dictionary in traverse() in the case it's subtyped results in a crash in weakrefobject.c. I'm using Python 2.5.
Thanks for any help anyone has! Ben -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
