[Jython-users] Question about copied objects...

[Rich S. <rse...@ya...>]

Hi,


We're seeing some behavior with the copy module in 
Jython.

In the following test program, __del__ is only called 
for for the original objects, never for the copied 
ones.

Is this normal? The same program (without java calls,
of course) for CPython shows __del__ being called for
both the original and copied objects.

Regards,

Rich Seddon


from java.lang import System
import copy

class Foo:
    def __del__(self):
        print "In __del__ for", self

if __name__ == '__main__':

    for i in range(0, 5):
        f= Foo()
        print 'Foo object:', f
        f2 = copy.copy(f)
        print 'Copied Foo object:', f2

        f = None
        f2 = None

        print 'Running garbage collector'
        System.gc()
