Only if the refcount of the tmp object is 1. But then, yes, it could. You then also need to change unicode_dealloc, to only optionally release the pointer (and probably also to not put the object into the freelist if it doesn't have a str pointer). IOW, no :-) Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ 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
