Thanks, it works now. I had read that paragraph in the docs once before 
and only remembered the "don't call any other methods of the object or 
do anything which might cause the object to be resurrected." part, it 
never occurred to me "print" would cause any trouble.

Now I have another question. Is there something similar to __dealloc__ 
but for the whole module? I want to do a cleanup once python decides the 
module's no longer needed (like at program exit).

Thanks!
Drirr.
