So I could register a function that sets a global variable called
"shutdown_has_begun" to "True". Then I say
def __del__(self):
if shutdown_has_begun: return
...
Alternatively, I could enclose every __del__ contents block with a
"try" whithout catching anything, just to suppress the error
messages.
However, all of this is not pretty pythonic in my opinion. Is it
that exotic to want to call functions from within __del__?
Tschö,
Torsten.
