Chris, > Well, that's exactly what happens.
So, only the reference count gets lowered. Yep, thats daft. ... unless you explain why it can only be done that way. > Also, when you scorn something without knowing your facts, > you tend to make yourself look like a fool :) I tend to go with logic. No logic => it most likely doesn't work that way. Choosing to go with a delayed action like you say will, as I already explained, create problems later on (race conditions everywhere). And as I do not think the designers of the language where that stupid I must therefore reject your claim to what you think happens. But, as you mentioned, I do not know (all) the facts. Please do present them. Maybe there is a logic in there I do not yet see. > Check out the 'with' statement. I'm sorry, but nope. Rule one: When debugging do *not* throw more stuff at a problem than what is neccessary to make it show its ugly head. Rule two: When in doubt, see rule One. :-) Regards, Rudy Wieser -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
