I have a class which uses a temporary directory for storing data. I
would like that directory to be removed when the class is no longer
used. I have tried removing the temporary directory from the class
destructor, however, it was never called. After I while I traced the
problem to the class having a reference to it's own function. Here is
a simplified model.
test.py
class Foo:
def __init__(self):
print "Hello"
self.f = self.fxn
def __del__(self):
print "Bye"
def fxn(self):
print "function"
a = Foo()
running python test.py I get
Hello
Is this an expected behavior or a bug in python? If this is expected
any suggestions for working around this. I would like to avoid having
to call the destructor explicitly.
Thanks,
Marcin
