Not exactly. I'm delegating the thinking mostly to others.
However, I now have an additional data point - if GeneratorExit inherits

There is a semantic difference between
code like s+=t and s.update(t). The former only works when t is a set
and the latter works for any iterable. When the C code corresponds to
the Python code, that knowledge is kept
There seems to be a need for better diagnostics
when pickle encounters something that can't be
pickled.
Recently when attempting to pickle a rather
large and complicated data structure, I got
the following incomprehensible message:

Maybe it will help you to understand why I want a richer concrete API.
I work on an app that is deeply integrated with Python. It's hard to
say whether we embed or extend -- it's a lot of both. We use Python
data structures such as lists, dicts, and sets in many places as our
When Python's small-object memory allocator was introduced, some
horrid hacks came with it to map PyMem_{Del, DEL} and PyMem_{Free,
FREE} to PyObject_{Free, FREE}. This was to cater to less than a
handful of extension modules found at the time that obtained memory

I'd really like to see someone else who understands the issues (i.e.

programmers who generally understand what's Pythonic, and I find myself
agreeing with whoever posted last. ;-) Having another perspective
