Hi Pietro, Please check out my branch:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ cd python-debian/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/python-debian$ git checkout origin/jsw/apt-pkg-without-shared-storage Note: moving to "origin/jsw/apt-pkg-without-shared-storage" which isn't a local branch If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example: git checkout -b <new_branch_name> HEAD is now at f8c3ca7... Add a use_apt_pkg parameter to Deb822.iter_paragraphs I have added a use_apt_pkg parameter to the iter_paragraphs method, and changed the behavior of the shared_storage parameter. Now, use_apt_pkg just turns on or off the usage of the (fast) apt_pkg parser, while shared_storage determines whether to then copy the parsed data (when False) or to use apt_pkg's internal Tags objects directly (which is faster than copying, but results in objects not really being consistent across iterations, as you found). For now, both parameters default to True, to match previous behavior. I'm going to run a few benchmarks to see if it actually makes sense to default to shared_storage=False, since that's definitely the option that would cause the fewest surprises. I think the main speed benefit to shared_storage previously was that it used apt_pkg's parser, not that it didn't keep data across iterations. Anyway, I plan to pull this into the master branch and upload it after I've tested it a bit more (and probably written a few more unit tests).
