Martin Panter added the comment: There is a cycle involving the class object, but I don’t think there is a cycle involving the instance objects this time.
However, I wonder if __del__() is meant to be called in any particular order anyway. What’s to stop the garbage collector itself from creating a temporary reference to the Device instance, destroying the Vector instance, which invokes Vector.__del__(), and finally destroying the temporary reference to the Device instance? ---------- nosy: +vadmium _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23720> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
