Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Hi Armin,
> is it still necessary to modify weakref.py so much, then? Not sure. I'll take a look again. Modifying __len__() at least is necessary, as the previous version took into account the length of _pending_removals (and could therefore return wrong results). I'm inclined to be a bit defensive here. > The C function would simply call PyObject_GetItem() and > PyObject_DelItem()---without releasing the GIL in the middle. If you implement it like that, and the dictionary has non-trivial keys with a user-defined __hash__, then the GIL can be released at the beginning of PyObject_DelItem(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28427> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
