Hi All,
Hi Neil,
While searching documentation about Pythons GC and it's behaviour I found references to the python-dev list in ``Modules/gcmodule.c``.
But unfortunately the links to the list do not work anymore. May someone give me a hint how to find the messages (2. to 4. below).
Is the article (Link 1. below) up to date or were there major changes in the GC strategies since year 2000?

4. http://www.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2000-March/004022.html
Background Info:
We're seriously evaluating Python for use in embedded realtime systems and need some informations about Pythons garbage collector.
What we're interested mostly in the runtime behaviour of the GC. The main question is:
Does it interrupt the python interpreter to collect stuff or
is collecting done more in the background (e.g. just incrementally
collecting)? This is an important question for realtime systems with
well defined reaction times.
Just point me to documentation if available.
