Hi,
I ran the following code in the Python interpreter and am trying to determine
if the behavior I see is expected:
import sys
print sys.getrefcount(globals())
class Foo(object):
def __init__(self):
pass
print sys.getrefcount(globals())
The first print statement above prints '4' and the second one prints '5'.
However, if I remove the __init__ method from the class, the refcount stays the
same.
If I change the above code like this, the ref count stays the same:
import gc
import sys
print sys.getrefcount(globals())
class Foo(object):
def __init__(self):
pass
del Foo
while gc.collect():
pass
print sys.getrefcount(globals())
Can you let me know if this is a bug in the Python interpreter?
