Hi, I'm working on a library written in C using GObject, which i provide python bindings for using pygtk. When I checked the library for memory leaks using valgrind, I noticed that none of the objects I created in the script (that is they are global in the script) were deleted on exit. After some googling I came to the conslusion that the python interpreter doesn't "cleanup" after itself on exit, because of shutdown performance.
This means that if I want to check the library for mem leaks I have to either manually "del myobject1, delmyobject2 ..." at the end of the scripts, or make sure that all objects get created in a function scope, so that python will delete them for me when the interpreter exits the scope. Is there another way to make python delete objects which were created in the global scope upon exit ? Jacob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
