Kevin Mills added the comment: gc.disable() at the beginning and then analyzing the results of gc.collect() actually does do what I was wanting, thank you.
Reference cycles in and of themselves aren't the problem. It's only a problem if garbage contains reference cycles. In a normal program, a class wouldn't generally ever become garbage, so it wouldn't be a problem. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29671> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
