It sucks in a way, but so would adding yet another new slot just for (at present, and possibly forever) making gc and generators play nicer together.

It won't be me: I wasn't even able to make enough time to understand the new generator features at the Python level, let alone the implementation. At PyCon, when Guido showed his slide with a new yield-as-expression example, for the rest of his talk I was wondering what the heck the example meant <0.3 wink>. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
