One other point I should have mentioned about __del__: if you are running under Windows and the user hits Ctrl+Break then unless you handle it Python will exit without doing any cleanup at all (as opposed to any other method of exiting such as Ctrl+C). If this matters to you then you can install a signal handler to catch the Ctrl+Break and exit cleanly. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
