I never intended to say that "we can't hide 'file' from the user" was FUD. Only objects crossing between interpreters. And it *might* not be FUD, but so far I haven't heard anyone say that they thought objects *could* cross between interpreters. I think your proposal would read better with a categorical statement that objects cannot cross between interpreters (right along with your categorical statement that Python code cannot directly access dangerous resources without help from the C level), so I present the following challenge: can anyone think of a way that an object could "cross" interpreters? For instance, are certain basic objects shared (str and int for instance) and objects could be passed between interpreters by attaching them as attributes of these core objects? I just don't know enough about multiple interpreters to be sure -- but somehow I thought they had separate object pools. -- Michael Chermside _______________________________________________ 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
