There would be a need for a PEP if we need to discuss APIs, interfaces, etc. but all this has already been done by Valdimir a long time ago. He put much effort into getting the Python malloc macros to work in the intended way so that pymalloc only has exchange these macro definitions.
I don't understand why we cannot take the risk of trying this out in an alpha version. Besides, Vladimir's malloc patch is opt-in: you have to compile Python using --with-pymalloc to enable it, so it doesn't really harm anyone not knowing what he/she is doing.
+1 on putting it in, in alpha2 or beta1, on an opt-in basis. +0 on putting it in *now* (alpha2, not beta1) and on by default. -- Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net> Hi! I'm a .signature virus! copy me into your .signature file to help me spread!
