[Python-checkins] CVS: python/dist/src/Lib/test test_descr.py,1.108,1.109

[Guido van Rossum]

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib/test
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv4883/Lib/test

Modified Files:
	test_descr.py 
Log Message:
At the PythonLabs meeting someone mentioned it would make Jim really
happy if one could delete the __dict__ attribute of an instance.  I
love to make Jim happy, so here goes...

- New-style objects now support deleting their __dict__.  This is for
  all intents and purposes equivalent to assigning a brand new empty
  dictionary, but saves space if the object is not used further.
