class Foo():
    def __init__(self):
        self.b = Bar(self)
    def __del__(self):
        print "Free Foo"

class Bar():
    def __init__(self, f):
        self.f = f
    def __del__(self):
        print "Free Bar"


f = Foo()
print f.b.f.b.f.b.f.b.f.b.f.b.f.b.f.b.f
print f.b.f.b.f.b.f.b.f.b.f.b.f.b.f.b.f.b
