Hi, I'm creating objects in my python script belonging to a COM object which I dispatch using win32com.client.DispatchEx. Hence, dllhost.dll is the concerned process. The problem is that the objects destructor within the com object is not called if the object lives past a certain number of seconds. For example, this function will not call the destructor concerned with obj unless the sleep is commented out.
def fnction: obj = comobj.createACertainObject() obj.doStuff() sleep(10) obj.doMoreStuff() #del obj It seems to me that the GC forgets about obj after a certain amount of time. I can force the destructor to be called using del obj at the end of my function, but why do I have to call this explicitly? Thanks for your help, Barry. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
