Armin Rigo added the comment: I don't see in general how the patch can be kept compatible with extension modules that change the tp_dict of arbitrary types. All I can think of is a way to be safe against extension modules that only change the tp_dict of their own non-heap types (i.e. types

Paul Pogonyshev added the comment: I personally think that this bug is a showstopper for the caching patch in 2.6. Well, the problem can be deemed insignificant, but it is sure a break of backward compatibility and, worse yet, it results in _very_ obscure fails. Even if type dictionary changes

New submission from Paul Pogonyshev: I have a regression from Python 2.5 to Python SVN (would-be-2.6). I believe this because of class attribute caching. The problem shown below happens because AbstractGCProtector is an extension class. So, Python interpreter doesn't have a chance to notice
