[snip] I think "Try hard to avoid __del__()" is as close to an official stance as you can get ;) Anyway, here is one more option to add too the zoo: >>> class A(object): ... def __init__(self, f, x): ... self._f = f ... self.x = x ... @property ... def f(self): ... return self._f.__get__(self) ... def __del__(self): ... print "deleting" ... >>> a = A(lambda s: s.x * 2, 2) >>> b = A(lambda s: s.x * 3, 3) >>> a.f() 4 >>> b.f() 9 >>> del a deleting >>> del b deleting Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
