In this episode, Pablo's avoiding the topic of garbage collection by talking about his latest PEP, which allows unprecedented interaction with a running Python process. We also resolve the bet about reference counting semantics, mention some notable changes in Python since the last episode, and discuss syntax highlighting in PyREPL and why it's bad, actually.
