i normally do that anyway and would also have done so here (afaik, it's best practice anyway), but this is in this case not possible as the modules in question are not under my control at all. as pep 299 has been turned down, this can't really be considered a bug of those files. anyway, it would just be another workaround around the globals disappearing. > That makes a strange situation where the module doesn't exist in > sys.modules but its globals are still alive... is this a known bug? i mean from a garbage collection / refcount point of view, at least everything that is still referenced somewhere should be preserved. thanks chrysn -- To use raw power is to make yourself infinitely vulnerable to greater powers. -- Bene Gesserit axiom
