Breanking memory inside immutable object by ctypes is far different from mutating mutable memory. It introduce more weakness and complexity into code object. At least, you need to demonstrate the benefit. When importing module, there are many objects are created. Why avoiding decref only for co_code make much difference? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36839> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
