That's an interesting idea. An immortal arena would certainly be one approach to investigate. However, I'm not convinced there is enough value to justify going out of our way to allow dynamically allocated objects to be immortal. Keep in mind that the concept of immortal objects would probably not be available outside the internal API, and, internally, any objects we want to be immortal will probably be statically allocated. -eric _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/I2ZG4J577Q4CDWXQHYCOMOFMPJPP5XJT/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
