Could tuples not be untracked at creation time then, or do not enough survive to gc to make this worthwhile? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14775> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
