From: Paul Rubin on 25 Jun 2010 19:14 I only had a couple minutes to look at it (maybe more during the weekend). It looks interesting. I wonder whether Python is really the right host language for it. How do you handle nested objects whose outermost layer is immutable but whose contents are potentially mutable? An obvious example is a list within a tuple ( [1,2,3], ) but conceivably the mutable stuff could exist at an arbitrary depth (making a thorough scan impractical) and give rise to a race condition. Also, I haven't followed PyPy development lately, but appraently stuff has been happening. Maybe the issues of CPython and the GIL will be behind us not that long from now. Is newthreading likely to be applicable to PyPy? |
