But won't self->args point to a broken object while any callbacks triggered by Py_XDECREF() are run? An alternative would be tmp = self->args; self->args = args; Py_INCREF(self->args); Py_XDECREF(tmp); As far as I can see the idiom Py_?DECREF(self->...) is rarely safe outside of a deallocator unless you are sure the pointed to object has a "safe" type (or you are sure the refcount cannot fall to zero). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1692335> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
