Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
This is a critical path in Python and it should be kept as clean as possible. If something like this goes in, it should be #ifdef'd out by default; otherwise, we have everyone paying the price for a feature that almost no one will use. Strong -1 against this being in the default build. Also, I'm not convinced that the idea itself is even that useful. Why dictionary sets/dels and not list assignments and whatnot. By itself, this one watchpoint hook provides very little utility. We've already cluttered the codebase with various trace and timing options. If something else were to be included, it should be part of a larger, well thought out approach (like what is being done for DTrace). ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5654> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
