PEP 394

Short and simple: Do you expect PEP 394 to change status or recommendation when official support for Python2 ends in 13½ months time, or at least some time thereafter? For those that don't have the habit of memorizing PEPs, 394 is the one stating * python2 will refer to some version of Python 2

Reference counting and the use of PYTHONDUMPREFS

During the final test of a bit of embedded python, I wanted to see if I had any hanging references. To my suprise, I ended up with a rather large amount, after running combinerefs.py. And even with the simplest[1] possible use of embedding, I end up with 13475 still-living references. If this i

Parsing and displaying C structs in a semi-intelligent way.

In my day job, we have a large code base of mostly identical projects, each with their own customizations. The customizations can be a real pain sometimes. Especially when debugging binary data. The interesting part of the binary dumps are most often the stuff that are tweaked from project to proj

SIGSEGV and SIGILL inside PyCFunction_Call

I have an ongoing issue with my usenet setup. I'm that one dude who don't want to learn perl. That means that I have to build inn from source, so I can enable the python interpreter. That's not so bad, and the errors that show up have been something that I have been able to figure out by myself. A
