Well, Java has an answer to that (at least I believe Tim Peters told me so years ago): it allows resurrection, but will only call the finalizer once. IOW if the resurrected object is GC'ed a second time, its finalizer won't be called. This would require a bit "__del__ already called" on an object, but don't we have a whole word of GC-related flags? -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
