I don't think it really breaks anything. What happens is that the immortal object appears to the GC to have a very large reference count, even after adjusting for within-cycle references. So cycles including an immortal object are always kept alive, which is exactly the behavior one should expect from an immortal object. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40255> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
