Is garbage collection supposed to run when Python exits?
The language reference manual doesn't promise that any garbage will be collected, ever. So, no, "supposed to" doesn't apply.
Thanks. I'll tell people to run gc.collect() at the end of their applications if they care. -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics." --Disraeli
