New submission from Antoine Pitrou: I think we may want to add a finalize() or close() method on frame objects which would clear all local variables (as well as dereference the globals dict, perhaps), after having optionally run a generator's close() method (if the frame belongs to a generator).
If I'm not mistaken, it should allow breaking reference cycles, and remove the need for complex traceback processing, which Twisted currently also does: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/twisted/python/failure.py#L89 Note that generator cleanup through the frame has a patch in issue17807. (spinned off from issue17911) ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 188718 nosy: ncoghlan, pitrou priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Add a frame method to clear expensive details type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17934> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
