I've been experimenting, and I found a strange behavior. In the View class
if I define the __ del__ method, and is never executed. In instances of
other classes, which are members of View, feel the same behavior (eg
HttpRequest is not removed by a garbage collector).
The fault lies primarily in this line (django/views/generic/base.py):
def view(request, *args, **kwargs):
# [...]
* if hasattr(self, 'get') and not hasattr(self, 'head'):
self.head = self.get*
# [...]
When you create alias methods once the class has been instantiated seems to
make some references (cyclical?) which prevent the garbage collector remove
them.
I have reproduced the same behavior with simple classes to verify the
problem: https://gist.github.com/4475138
If a custom view defines a head method, the problem disappears.
So, is how it should work? I'm wrong about something?
Thank you very much.
