I find that strange because if you cleanup the object in that scenario it should also be cleaned up in the following. def newbar(): foo = Bar return foo bar = newbar() foo goes out of scope, so that is equivallent to a del foo. But I wouldn't want the object cleaned up because of that. -- Antoon Pardon. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
