I like to use destructors to and find the way __del__ works a bit
strange. For instance if you want to use a class variable in the __del__
function it's possible that it's not reachable via
<classname>.<variable> and then you have to call it via
self.__class__.<variable>.
I find this non intuitive. I heard the explanations why but that doens't
make it more intuitive.
Then i got a tip that you can register a function that needs to be
called when the object is going to be deleted.
For instance to register a function __exit, you do this:
import atexit
...
class Bla:
def __init__(self)
...
atexit.register(self.__exit)
...
def __exit(self):
It still doesn't feel right to me as i would rather use __del__ but
since the behaviour can't be predicted, using atext is the next best thing
