I don't understand this. What is "the natural thing" if not to delete references to an object when you are done with it? Normally you just let things go out of scope, but if that won't happen, you have to take active steps, such as calling del or setting the reference to None. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
