Hi everybody,
I'm trying to get sense of PEP-0442 [1]. Most of the looks clear,
however I wasn't able to answer myself one simple question: why it
wasn't possible to implement proposed CI disposal scheme on top of
tp_del? Common sense suggests that tp_del and tp_finalize have different
semantics. For instance, with tp_finalize there is a guarantee that the
object will be in a safe state, as documented at [2]. However, tp_del is
not documented, and I have only vague idea of its guarantees. Are there any?
Thanks for the clarification.
