It's not a JIT problem rather a RPython/gc one. All the RPython classes with finalizers must be known at translation time. __del__ is expensive in the for gc. To implement user level __del__, a different underlying interp class is used which has its own __del__ which the gc will call. -- Regards, Benjamin _______________________________________________ pypy-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
