Maybe you should also mention that in 3.11 we’re introducing a new concept, dict *keys* version, which is more useful (for the specializing interpreter anyway). On Thu, Jul 29, 2021 at 12:47 Mark Shannon <mark@hotpy.org> wrote:
Hi everyone,
I would like to repeal PEP 509. We don't really have a process for repealing a PEP. Presumably I would just write another PEP.
Before I do so, I would like to know if anyone thinks we should keep PEP 509.
The dictionary version number is currently unused in CPython and just wastes memory. I am not claiming that we will never need it, just that we shouldn't be required to have it. It should be an internal implementation detail that we can add or remove depending on requirements.
Thoughts?
