No no no. It's the other way around. _Something_ has to be doing those callbacks, and it's that _something_ that should be keeping them alive. The fact that it's a registered callback should itself *be* a reference (and not a weak reference), and should keep it alive. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
