Brett -- You might put together a list of all the ideas (maybe even a ranked list) and post it as a unit to the list for archival purposes. Thanks.
Way ahead of you, Dennis. I have already started to come up with a reST doc for writing up all of these suggestions. It just might be a little while before I get it up since I will need to do some preliminary research on each idea to measure the amount of work they will be.
Could go on the Python Wiki?
Could. Let me get it done in reST locally, then I can look at adding it to the wiki.
I take it from your posting of last week that you've thought about other ways of implementing exception handling? I guess a non-reference count based GC is a prerequisite for that...
Yeah, I have tossed the exception handling idea around in my head a little, but the culmination was what I posted. And a non-refcount GC would definitely help, even if the exception handling wasn't changed. More places where you could just return NULL instead of having to deal with DECREFing objects. -Brett
