Hi Richard Thank you for your interest. You wrote:

One part of the basic idea is that permanent code objects be made available to the Python interpreter. The second part is that the interpreter does not keep reference counts to these permanent objects. What I did not say explicitly, or not clearly enough, was that the previous use would continue unchanged. The only change would be that a function object would have a flag, which would tell the interpreter whether the associated code object was transient or permanent. (This, as I recall, I did mention in my original post.) Thank you for providing an example. This has made your concern very clear. It is my intention that this example, and also 'change the code monkey patching' would continue to work as before. To summarise: Permanent code objects are to be optional. Use them only if they help in some way. I hope this helps. Once again, thank you for your interest and contribution. with best wishes Jonathan
