python字典弱引用_python weakref弱引用

weakref号称可以解决循环引用gc和创建缓存。我困惑的是python的gc到底能不能解决循环引用的问题，有资料说python的gc是有别的辅助机制可以解决循环依赖，但是我又看见这样的代码。

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-

import weakref

import gc

from pprint import pprint

class Graph(object):

def __init__(self, name):

self.name = name

self.other = None

def set_next(self, other):

print "%s.set_next(%r)" % (self.name, other)

self.other = other

def all_nodes(self):

yield self

n = self.other

while n and n.name !=self.name:

yield n

n = n.other

if n is self:

yield n

return

def __str__(self):

return "->".join(n.name for n in self.all_nodes())

def __repr__(self):

return "" % (self.__class__.__name__, id(self), self.name)

def __del__(self):

print "(Deleting %s)" % self.name

def collect_and_show_garbage():

print "Collecting..."

n = gc.collect()

print "unreachable objects:", n

print "garbage:",

pprint(gc.garbage)

def demo(graph_factory):

print "Set up graph:"

one = graph_factory("one")

two = graph_factory("two")

three = graph_factory("three")

one.set_next(two)

two.set_next(three)

three.set_next(one)

print

print "Graph:"

print str(one)

collect_and_show_garbage()

print

three = None

two = None

print "After 2 references removed"

print str(one)

collect_and_show_garbage()

print

print "removeing last reference"

one = None

collect_and_show_garbage()

gc.set_debug(gc.DEBUG_LEAK)

print "Setting up the cycle"

print

demo(Graph)

print

print "breaking the cycle and cleaning up garbage"

print

gc.garbage[0].set_next(None)

while gc.garbage:

del gc.garbage[0]

print collect_and_show_garbage()

这段代码试图说明python的gc并不那么智能
