He shows modest interest in obliterating the handle limit. So depending how long that takes, tf2itemsinfo may not stay broken for too long anyway.

Still, good work, and as for vdf.py, add the __future__ import statement to vdf.py because your script still imports vdf.py (so it does not work on python 3 anyway).
TF2ItemsInfo is broken for good.

The handle system is not going anyway any time soon. As Bailopan said, it is a "long bet", and it'll probably be years before a GC is put into sourcepawn.

Massive handle usage is not the only issue it has. It also has memory leaks, and it is already taking so long to load that it gets killed by the new sourcemod watchdog timer.

Also if you have already done the work of cleaning up vdf.py, then why don't you post it?
