If you don't want j to keep i alive, you should look at weak referencing. (Look at the documentation for the weakref module. Also, this has nothing to do with A and B being C-defined types; this exact same behavior would happen even with Python types.) Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
