Hey!  Do you work on Pyd?  Maybe you can answer a question for me:  Is the D garbage collector aware of the references in Python to D data?

With SWIG, some languages can have problems when the pointer is stored as a string.  I just want to be sure that with Pyd it is not mangled somehow to fool the gc.  You probably already thought of this, but I just want to be sure.  I didn't notice it in the docs.

Python is a reference-counted language, so the interaction with a garbage-collector is interesting.

Yes, but how do I get 2.0 for Linux?  I ended up with 1.015.
