IIRC to handle this gilectomy adds per-object mutexes that you have to hold whenever you're mucking around with that object's internals.
What counts as "mucking around with the object's internals", though? If I do the C equivalent of: x = somedict[5] x.dosomething() am I mucking around with the internals of somedict? Intuitively, I would not think so. But the way PyDict_GetItem currently works, this would be dangerous. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
