[Tim, on PyErr_NoMemory]

Looks good to me. And if it breaks something, it will be darned hard to tell .

[Vladimir Marangozov]

It's easily demonstrated with the memprof.c module I'd like to introduce quickly here.

Note: I'll be out of town next week and if someone wants to play with this, tell me what to do quickly: upload a (postponed) patch which goes in pair with obmalloc.c, put it in a web page or remain quiet. The object allocator is well tested, the memory profiler is not so thouroughly tested... The interface needs more work IMHO, but it's already quite useful and fun in it's current state . ...

My bandwidth is consumed by 2.0 issues, so I won't look at it. On the chance that Guido gets hit by a bus, though, and I have time to kill at his funeral, it would be nice to have it available on SourceForge. Uploading a postponed patch sounds fine!
