还有一个特殊的方法__del__,它在对象消逝的时候被调用。对象消逝即对象不再被使用,它所占用的内存将返回给系统作它用。
class Person:
'''Represents a person.'''
population = 0
def __init__(self, name):
'''Initializes the person's data.'''
self.name = name
print '(Initializing %s)' % self.name
# When this person is created, he/she
# adds to the population
Person.population += 1
def __del__(self):
'''I am dying.'''
print '%s says bye.' % self.name
Person.population -= 1
if Person.population == 0:
print 'I am the last one.'
else:
print 'There are still %d people left.' % Person.population
def sayHi(self):
'''Greeting by the person.
Really, that's all it does.'''
print 'Hi, my name is %s.' % self.name
def howMany(self):
'''Prints the current population.'''
if Person.population == 1:
print 'I am the only person here.'
else:
print 'We have %d persons here.' % Person.population
swaroop = Person('Swaroop')
运行结果:
(Initializing Swaroop)
Swaroop says bye.
I am the last one.
对象在最后释放时候,运行了_del_ 方法。
