Just double-checked my results, there were a handful of runs with higher counts: MaxNoneRefCount 59,834,444 MaxTrueRefCount 1,072,467 MaxZeroRefCount 3,460,921 Regards, Trent. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/UJPQVBF5I4PGZTBX3EOVLLCAOQVNHVGZ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
