The current proposal for immortal objects (PEP 683) will be going to the steering council soon. However, it only applies to the CPython runtime (internally). We don't have plans right now for a public API to make an object immortal. (That would be a separate proposal.) If isolating the extension, a la PEP 630, isn't feasible in the short term, we would certainly be open to discussing alternatives (incl. immortal objects). > One other thing I am not quite sure about right now is GIL grabbing. > `PyGILState_Ensure()` will continue to work reliably? > This used to be one of my main worries.

[1] That will be fixed. Otherwise, PyGILState_Ensure() should work correctly. -eric [1] https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/59956 _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list -- numpy-discussion@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to numpy-discussion-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/numpy-discussion.python.org/ Member address: arch...@mail-archive.com
