Does the standard alternative behavior of temporarily turning cyclic gc off solve your problem? Can this alternative be made easier by adding a context manager to gc module to use with 'with' statements? Something like with gc.delay() as dummy: <block> with exit invoking the collector (or make that a delay keyword param?) Do the docs need some improvement in this area? tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
