For example, PyObject is much better to implement using C++ class,
I used to think this. Python has OO features, C++ has OO features, should be a good match, right? Well, no. Python's OO is very flexible and dynamic, C++'s is very rigid and static. CPython uses various low-level tricks that rely on structs being just "plain old data". The OO features of C++ wouldn't help nuch with that at all, and would often get in the way. If you want a Python implementation that's less prone to memory management errors, I would suggest having a small kernel written in C, and write the rest using a tool similar to Cython that will take care of all the tricky reference counting for you. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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/7SHARSLCRFH4XOJAQOOBG4O5XVQE2CH7/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
