PyV8 disable automatic garbage collection

I have a problem that seems to be related to how Python and PyV8 garbage collection interacts. I temporarily solved the problem by disabling python garbage collection and calling gc.collect and PyV8.JSEngine.collect together every few seconds when JavaScript does not start. However, this seems like a pretty hacky solution ... in particular, I'm worried PyV8 might decide to assemble at the wrong time and cause problems, anyway. Is there a way to disable the automatic garbage collection of PyV8 forever, at least until I have several days to spend figuring out what is happening and thereby fixing the problem?

You can easily turn off garbage collection by changing the source code for V8.

In the V8 source, edit src / heap.cc and place the return statement at the beginning of Heap :: CollectGarbage.

Other than that, this is not possible (AFAICT): V8 will always cause garbage collection when it runs out of memory. There is no (custom) way to do this.
