I don't think anything other than very short term confusion is possible. Whichever decision is made a developer who assumes the opposite will actually get an error. In both cases the downside is that in certain circumstances you could attempt to use a resource that has already been disposed of. As an interesting data point, the Bzr code does clean ups *before* tearDown. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5679> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
