I have an object (written as part C extension, part pure Python) called foo that I've been using without much fuss for a few months now. However, in my latest project (a rather large one involving multi-threading, pygtk, etc.), I'm seeing some really strange behavior with a particular instance of my foo object.
About midway through my program, any attempt to use the instance fails; however, if I add print statements before trying to invoke methods on it, the foo object instance works fine. I thought it might have something to do w/ reference counting, but calling sys.getrefcount() shows sane values both before and after the method call. I know it's almost pointless to ask this question w/out showing any code, but does anyone have any general ideas about what might make something "invalid" unless you print it to stdout before using it? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
