in general, no. Python's not C++; you cannot rely on the garbage collector to release resources at a given time (or to release them at all, for that matter). if you want to tear down an object or a module in a reliable fashion, you need to provide an API for that purpose. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
