Conference
Towards Reliable Memory Management for Python Native Extensions
Abstract
Many programming languages provide a C interface as a foreign function interface (FFI) for C developers to access the language, the Python language being one of these languages. Over the years, the Python C API has grown to be a challenge for the evolution of the Python ecosystem. In this paper, we implement a new Python FFI, we call CyStck, by combining a stack and light-weight handles, to support efficient garbage collection (GC) in Python …
