> We need to convert them. Let me elaborate. Static types have multiple issues: * Their lifetime is not well defined. * It is not obvious when they are ready to be used. * They are not destroyed at exit. * They are incompatible with subinterpreters: each interpreter should have its own copy of a type, rather than static types are shared by all interpreters which cause problems with reference counting (require GIL or atomic operation). * They are causing issues with stable ABI (limited C API): PEP 384. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40077> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
