Ok, so I missed this important flag :-) Thanks! I had to fight against the C API to fix all my bugs, but now it works well: a guard keeps a strong reference to the global namespace, but objects are still destroyed when the module is unloaded! FYI I updated my PEP 510 patch to track guards with the garbage collector, and my fat project to fix bugs related to GC: - https://bugs.python.org/issue26098 - https://github.com/haypo/fat Victor _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
