"more difficut" means it's still possible. How?
I have a Python wrapper on top of a C library. I use
__del__ to call the special deallocator for the library
when the object is no longer needed.
The library also has bindings for use with Java. I tried
using JPython (it was a while ago) but got memory leaks
all over the place because it doesn't call __del__ methods;
prefering the Java garbage collector.
How do I make Jython work with that wrapper? try/finally
doesn't work for my needs.
