Yeah, except I think only one of those would actually work (the "permanent objects" idea). The "thread-local refcount" idea seems to have at least one fatal flaw. I'm now more interested in the IBM "Recycler" idea that was mentioned. If I get a spare moment, I might have a go at implementing a "Repycler" by means of suitable redefinitions of Py_INCREF and Py_DECREF. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
