_reuse()

[robvoi]

I tried the pypy hack for gevent. My pypy prgram (flask with sse) starts. But when I try to connect I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I found a comment which may help here: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-commit/2013-August/076563.html

•        # PyPy note about refcounting: implemented with _reuse()/_drop()
  

•        # on the class '_socket.socket'.  Python 3 did it differently
  

•        # with a reference counter on this class 'socket._socketobject'
  

•        # instead, but it is a less compatible change.
  

•        # Note that a few libraries (like eventlet) poke at the
  

•        # private implementation of socket.py, passing custom
  

•        # objects to _socketobject().  These libraries need the
  

•        # following fix for use on PyPy: the custom objects need
  

•        # methods _reuse() and _drop() that maintains an explicit
  

•        # reference counter, starting at 0.  When it drops back to
  

•        # zero, close() must be called.
  

And a comment from the pypy-dev mailing list with an interesting link:

"No, this isn't a bug in PyPy. If gevent wants to use the internal details of
the socket module in way's that aren't defined, they need to pass somethign
which matches the required interface.

it's worth noting that eventlet had the same issue, and it was fixed here (thanks to... Alex :)):

see #11. pypycore needs a maintainer, I wouldn't use it for serious work.
