Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: The exception you report looks incomplete: there should be something after the 'no attribute' saying which attribute lookup failed.
In any case, I don't thing this is a bug. It sounds like a result of the unpredictability of cleanup order at interpreter shutdown: you're encountering a situation where the 'Person' reference has already been deleted from the module namespace before the __del__ method for one of the Person instances gets called; so the 'Person' name lookup in the __del__ method fails. You could get around this by replacing 'Person' with 'type(self)' in __del__. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15193> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
