Hello, PEP 442 has now been committed in time for testing in Alpha 1.
This paves the way for the removal of another well-known annoyance: the behaviour of module globals at shutdown. Now that reference cycles aren't a barrier to object finalization anymore, we shouldn't need to set module globals to None before trying to reclaim modules. (and then, we don't need to cache global functions for use in finalizers, either) I have a patch to suppress the hack in http://bugs.python.org/issue18214 Once I get to add some tests, I would like to commit it soon too! Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ 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
