(Replying here since b.p.o doesn't seem to want to let me log in) I've used the PEP 523 API several times for multiple projects, from analyzing bytecode frequency (which probably could be done with other means) to inspecting type information from function calls. I could probably do such analysis a different way too, (some people do it via tracing). But from what I have experienced, the PEP 523 API is much faster than alternatives, and I would be sad to see it go. I also have written some of these experiments in Rust, and it would make it harder to use if I had to deal with enabling it. I would much prefer the proposed setters/getters.
Also the discussion is here for those who are interested https://bugs.python.org/issue38500 Best, Ethan On Thu, Nov 21, 2019 at 12:07 PM Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> wrote: > An unfortunate side-effect of making PyInterpreterState in Python 3.8 > opaque is it removed [PEP 523](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0523/) > support. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0523/ was opened to try and > fix this, but there seems to be a stalemate in the issue. > > A key question is at what API level should setting the frame evaluation > function live at?
