Re: When should I use "parent=None" in __ini__ and "parent" in super()

that allocates resources (memory, file opens, etc.), how do these resources get cleaned up when an object is destroyed? Custom method? At the moment, this architecture seems a bit asymmetric if the __del__ method is not called. Thanks, Randy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman
