Hi there. Antoine Pitrou suggested that I float this on python-dev again. The new patch should 1) be much simpler and less hacky 2) remove the special case code for PyGenObject from gcmodule.c K

Kristján Valur Jónsson kristjan@ccpgames.com added the comment:

Here is a completely new patch. This approach uses the already existing tp_is_gc enquiry slot to signal garbage collection. The patch modifies the generator object to use this new mechanism. The patch keeps the old PyGen_NeedsFinalizing() API, but this can now go away, unless people think it might be used in extension modules

(why do we always expose all those internal apis from the dll? I wonder.)
