Another more common workaround is to use default arguments:
class C(object):
def __init__(self):
logging.warn('Allocating resource ...')
def __del__(self, warn=logging.warn):
warn('De-allocating resource ...')
print 'THIS IS REACHED!'
But, as you know, I want to remove __del__ because of the problem with
reference
cycles, not because of this little issue with the cleanup mechanism
(which BTW is shared
also by the weak references callback mechanism).
