Shivayogi, Sorry my last e-mail wasn't very helpful.
Better would have been: >>> a=myClass() >>> b=myClass() >>> a.howmany() >>> myClass.count=0 >>> del a which will (hopefully) give you something like: Exception exceptions.AssertionError: <exceptions.AssertionError instance at 0xb7b1d12c> in <bound method myClass.__del__ of <__main__.myClass instance at 0xb7b1d2ec>> ignored Assert is commonly used as a sanity check for things that you always expect to be true.
