Of course. I'm not gonna kill reachable modules like a cowboy on the loose :-) The problem is that its global objects will get finalized very late. Anyway, the solution is to unpatch builtins through an atexit handler in the site module. (my patch still has a last step where surviving modules get their globals wiped, though) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ 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
