Why so coarse? Getting a notification for every change of a global in module, is likely to make use the use of global variables extremely expensive. ``` var = 0 CONST = 1 def foo(...): ... ``` I may well want to be notified if `foo` or `CONST` gets modified, but performance could suffer badly if we make a callback every time `var` is changed. -------------- What happens if a watched dictionary is modified in a callback? -------------- How do you plan to implement this? Steal a bit from `ma_version_tag` or replace `ma_version_tag`? If you replace `ma_version_tag` this could actually speed things up a tad. You'd probably need a PEP to replace PEP 509, but I think this may need a PEP anyway. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46896> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
