I find the behavior surprising compared to dict and other containers, where this is not an issue and weakrefs are not required in user code. I would not be surprised, however, to have to wait for a gc.collect() to clean up my cycles like I do for regular objects.
For what it's worth, the pure-python alternative linked in the docs uses neither __del__ nor weakrefs, though it is undoubtably less efficient than this implementation. And the workaround 'del OrderedDict.__del__' seems to work as well, if one is willing to wait for a gc collection. |
