That's just a matter of timing. You call the function before you call set_debug, so when you uncomment the lines, the garbage collector is explicitly run before the debug flags are set. When it runs again later, there are no collectable objects for it to find, as they've already been collected. With the lines commented, the garbage collector doesn't get run until after the set_debug call, so it finds the collectable objects at that time. Either way the objects get collected sooner or later, so I don't see any leaks here. Cheers, Ian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
