PyPy's GC design is (very) different, and allows finalisation of reference cycles involving __del__ even in Python 2. That path naturally comes with its own C extension compatibility challenges, though.
yup -- as does IronPython and Jython. But particularly for the scientific stack, switching to PyPy is a LOT harder than switching to 3.4 ! I certainly wouldn't do it for the garbage collection ;-) -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
