I tried. But what he said made no sense to me, and no matter how hard I tried I could not get Chris (or others for that matter) to understand. And as you might have seen, I tried. In several different ways. The only thing I got was regurgitation, without /any/ attempt to figure out where my mistake would be. Do you have /any/ idea how frustrating that that is ? Do you ? Also, if I would not care about it, why would I than not simply have stopped responding ? Much easier than to try to get someone to understand. And as it turned out, I /didn't/ make a mistake. The __del__ method /is/ directly called as a result of the "del instance" command (and the reference count going zero). No delay, and thus no "race condition" exist.
