If to add the third call of stat() after the second, the result became such: -------------------- ini_cnt = 500001 del_cnt = 0 difference = 500001 -------------------- ini_cnt = 500001 del_cnt = 25 difference = 499976 -------------------- ini_cnt = 500001 del_cnt = 500001 difference = 0 Preceding call to gc.disable() has no influence on result. -- GMT More Then ... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
