You can't actually depend on del resulting in __del__ being called. The two are tangentially related, but Python doesn't guarantee that unbinding a name will result in the destruction of the object. I recommend that, instead, you have some kind of explicit removal system. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
