I still don't understand why it is required. You shouldn't have to decref the type at all. Otherwise, it is a bug somewhere in Python (typeobject.c perhaps). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15653> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
