This is the implementation of PEP683 Motivation: The PR introduces the ability to immortalize instances in CPython which bypasses reference counting. Tagging objects as immortal allows up to skip certain operations when we know that the object will be around for the entire execution of the runtime. Note that this by itself will bring a performance regression to the runtime due to the extra reference count checks. However, this brings the ability of having truly immutable objects that are useful in other contexts such as immutable data sharing between sub-interpreters. |

README
This directory contains a number of Python programs that are useful while building or extending Python. build Automatically generated directory by the build system contain build artifacts and intermediate files. buildbot Batchfiles for running on Windows buildbot workers. c-analyzer Tools to check no new global variables have been added. cases_generator Tooling to generate interpreters. ccbench A Python threads-based concurrency benchmark. (*) clinic A preprocessor for CPython C files in order to automate the boilerplate involved with writing argument parsing code for "builtins". freeze Create a stand-alone executable from a Python program. gdb Python code to be run inside gdb, to make it easier to debug Python itself (by David Malcolm). i18n Tools for internationalization. pygettext.py parses Python source code and generates .pot files, and msgfmt.py generates a binary message catalog from a catalog in text format. importbench A set of micro-benchmarks for various import scenarios. iobench Benchmark for the new Python I/O system. (*) msi Support for packaging Python as an MSI package on Windows. nuget Files for the NuGet package manager for .NET. patchcheck Tools for checking and applying patches to the Python source code and verifying the integrity of patch files. peg_generator PEG-based parser generator (pegen) used for new parser. scripts A number of useful single-file programs, e.g. tabnanny.py by Tim Peters, which checks for inconsistent mixing of tabs and spaces, and 2to3, which converts Python 2 code to Python 3 code. ssl Scripts to generate ssl_data.h from OpenSSL sources, and run tests against multiple installations of OpenSSL and LibreSSL. stringbench A suite of micro-benchmarks for various operations on strings (both 8-bit and unicode). (*) tz A script to dump timezone from /usr/share/zoneinfo. unicode Tools for generating unicodedata and codecs from unicode.org and other mapping files (by Fredrik Lundh, Marc-Andre Lemburg and Martin von Loewis). unittestgui A Tkinter based GUI test runner for unittest, with test discovery. wasm Config and helpers to facilitate cross compilation of CPython to WebAssembly (WASM). (*) A generic benchmark suite is maintained separately at https://github.com/python/performance Note: The pynche color editor has moved to https://gitlab.com/warsaw/pynche
