Since setobject is finalized before stringobject, interpretor crashed when cleaning "interned". I feel that set is a more basic object than dict, but dictobject module is never finalized (is this a bug or a feature?), so dict api functions are always safe. For example, I can use dict API in atexit callbacks, but not set API. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
