#9243: Document Signal.connect weak parameter ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: ekellner | Owner: nobody Status: new | Milestone: Component: Documentation | Version: 1.0 Keywords: signals | Stage: Unreviewed Has_patch: 1 | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Django signals keep a weak reference to the signal handler. If you handler is a local function, it will be garbage collected. There is a name parameter in Signal.connect, so you can put weak=False to stop this, but this functionality appears to be undocumented.
It would be nice if this was mentioned somewhere in the signals documentation, since when your signal handler is garbage collected, it is silently not called and it's not trivial to figure out what's going on. -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9243> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
