How is gram.database defined? Is it an instance attribue or
a class attribute? If you have
class Grammars:
database = {}
def __init__(....): ....
instead of
class Grammars:
def __init__(....):
self.database = {}
....
Then database will be shared by all instances of Grammars
BTW Its conventional to name classes in the singular unless
it genuinely represents a collection of some sort. I can't tell
if thats the case here, but it seems more likely that it
represents a specific Grammar?
As you can see, not only do I delete gram, I also blank out
everything
that should be cleared. I have to manually clear gram.database
because
otherwise it keeps the data from previous calls to that function. I
don't understand why this should be. DisplayModule is a class that
packages and organizes the data into a convenient form.
If its a class variable then deleting the instance will have no
affect.
About all I can think of without seeing more code.
