Termination of the development effort

Alex Shindich — Mon, 19 Mar 2001 04:59:08 -0000

I would like to inform the Python community that I have discontinued the development effort of PyWeakReference C++ extension module, as Python now supports weak references out of the box.

I would like to thank every one who supported the effort of introducing weak references into Python!

For those of you who made use of my extension module and do not feel like switching to Python's weakref module, I would like to say that it is not a good idea! Although, I will be more then glad to answer your questions or even fix a bug or two, I DO NOT INTEND to continue working on my ext. module. Please CONSIDER USING Python's WEAKREF module.

Thank you,

Alex Shindich
