I think there is talk though to make it impossible to turn off pymalloc in the future (you can still turn it off in Python 2.3).

[Tim]

I haven't heard such talk before. There was talk of making it impossible to compile without cyclic gc, and-- indeed --that was done for 2.3.

[Guido]

Oops, I think I may have been confused by that one.

Me too -- it was a surprisingly common confusion when we were all talking about making cyclic gc compilation mandatory, I guess because they all "have something to do with recycling memory". Or something .
