darrenr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: We've gotten into the habit of writing manual destructors to remove references like the one you wrote. I think explicit destruction is a useful paradigm when resource allocation is involved and it's important to manage the allocation's lifetime closely.
However you've convinced me that it's OK to allow these types of reference cycles, and to make an effort to clean up only cycles involving instances with __del__ methods. I've been able to convince the team. Thanks for helping to clear this up. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4273> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
