The problem is that that definition isn't helpful. If we ever change itertools.tee to use non-PyObjects internally, suddenly its sys.getsizeof() would have to return much larger numbers despite visible behaviour not having changed at all (and despite the memory overhead being actually lower). And gc.get_referents() is really a low-level debugging tool, certainly not a "reflection API" (inspect would serve that role). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19048> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
