This is not true, since global objects might have a __del__ and then hold the whole module dict alive through a reference cycle. Happily though, PEP 442 is going to make that concern obsolete. As for the interpreter shutdown itself, I have a pending patch (post-PEP 442) to get rid of the globals cleanup as well. It may be better to merge the two approaches. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18214> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
