Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mark Flacy (markaflacy) Assigned to: Bob Ippolito (etrepum) Summary: struct module doesn't use weakref for cache Initial Comment: At the moment, when you attempt to add your 101st different Struct object to the cache, all the other 100 entries are tossed into the garbage. That seems a trifle odd. The Struct cache would appear to be a perfect use for a weakref dictionary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: �iga Seilnacht (zseil) Date: 2006-10-12 17:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1326842 WeakValueDictionary would be useless here; the cache is the only thing that holds references to Struct objects. Replacing the _cache.clear() call with _cache.popitem() seems like a better solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1573394&group_id=5470
