Actually, it's not surprising. Blob's methods hold a reference to the __main__ globals, and there's still a Blob object alive in encodings. If you replace the end of your script with the following: for name, mod in sys.modules.items(): if name != 'encodings': mod.__dict__["__blob__"] = Blob(name) del name, mod, Blob then at the end of the shutdown phase, remaining is empty. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18214> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
