It wouldn't constitute an attractive nuisance, since it would force you to think about which pieces of information the finalizer really needs. This is something you need to do anyway if you're to ensure you don't get into trouble using __del__. The supposed "easiness" of __del__ is really just sloppiness that will turn around and bite you eventually (if you'll excuse the mixed metaphor). -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
