You mean Jython deletes instance attributes before calling __del__ ?
No. I think the term of "object resurrection" usually does not mean
bringing
back a deleted object in the sense that memory was already freed.
I think it rather means that nothing referred to an object, so it was on
the
"kill-list" of gc or zero-ref-count macro.
In either case, there is a final reference keeping the object alive,
like an hospital patient kept alive by a final link with a life-support
machine. I think 'resuscitation' might be a better metaphor.
