It is a general problem when writing extensions and Cython [via code written by Robert Bradshaw] has started to add code to deal with the situation. But the deallocation code can cause trouble when extensions are carefully written (i.e. interdependencies) and I hope that during Dev1 I will have time to delve into this. If I had time I would lock myself in a room with the Python code for two weeks and try to figure this out. So far that hasn't happened yet du to lack of time. Maybe I need to go on "vacation" for two weeks where due to unforeseen circumstances I cannot be reached ;) > Brian > Cheers, Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
