Hello. Sorry if this is noise. I expected
__del__
out of function
__del__
out of function
__del__
out of function
on following code, but actually I got
out of function
out of function
out of function
__del__
__del__
__del__
Is this expected behavoir? (I believed `a' would be
freed after returned from f(), so I was suprised)
If I remove the comment of gc.collect(), the code works as expected.
///////////////////////////////
import gc
class A:
 def __del__(self):
 print("__del__")
def f():
 a = A()
 def g():
 a
 g()
def main():
 for _ in range(3):
 f()
# gc.collect()
 print("out of function")
if __name__ == '__main__':
 main()
