My use case is this: I test some things, then I need to recompile my .dll without closing the interpreter (as building stuff to begin tests is quiet expensive) then reload it. I can't recompile it because Windows blocks the .dll file and gcc can't overwrite it. Deleting the reference and running gc.collect() doesn't work. It would be very nice to have a way to do this. ---------- nosy: +Piotr.Lopusiewicz _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14597> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
