Fredrik and Steve,
Thank you so much for the help. Now I know more about Python. :-)
Steve's test does explain why 'peter1' is OK while 'peter' is not:
'peter1' appears
before 'Person' in the globals while 'peter' is after.
The error message is just a little confusing to a Python newbie, I
thin
Today I was playing with a small Python program using Python 2.4
on Cygwin (up-to-date version, on Windows XP), but ran into a
strange error on the following small program (named bug.py):
---
#!/usr/bin/python
class Person:
population = 0
def __del__(self):
Person.popu
