That may be true in Java and other corporate-herd-oriented languages, but we know that dynamic languages like Perl and Python make heavy use of reference-counting wherever they can. If it's easy to satisfy yourself that the lifetime of an object will be delimited in this way, I don't see why you can't rely upon it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
