Define "non-trivial". There are various tests for it in test_io. Not ending up in gc.garbage is *by design*. Making file objects uncollectable as soon as they appear in a reference cycle would be a serious regression. That's why the cleanup is done in tp_dealloc instead of having a __del__. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9141> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
