Consider, though, that if Py_INCREF and Py_DECREF are not part of the ABI, enabling the ABI-specific preprocessor symbol will hide them, which might (or might not!) annoy a lot of extension writers. (I don't know if there are extensions out there having reference count increments and decrements in their critical paths) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
