python - 为什么要调用 python 析构函数？

Question

当我将其输入解释器时，调用“y”似乎调用了析构函数？

class SmartPhone:
    def __del__(self):
       print "destroyed"

y = SmartPhone()
y  #prints destroyed, why is that?
y  #object is still there

这是一次运行，输出对我来说没有意义。

C:\Users\z4>python

>>> class SmartPhone:
...     def __del__(self):
...        print "destroyed"
...
>>> y = SmartPhone()
>>> del y
destroyed
>>> y = SmartPhone()
>>> y
<__main__.SmartPhone instance at 0x01A7CBC0>
>>> y
<__main__.SmartPhone instance at 0x01A7CBC0>
>>> y
<__main__.SmartPhone instance at 0x01A7CBC0>
>>> del y
>>> y = SmartPhone()
>>> y
destroyed
<__main__.SmartPhone instance at 0x01A7CB98>
>>>

还有一个，调用'del y'有时调用析构函数有时不调用

>>> y

>>> del y
>>> y

Answer 1

有问题的输出仅在交互式 shell 中复制。

在交互式 session 中，存在附加变量_，它引用最后一个值。

使用 sys.getrefcount检查引用计数:

>>> import sys
>>> class SmartPhone:
...     def __del__(self):
...        print "destroyed"
...
>>> y = SmartPhone()
>>> sys.getrefcount(y) # not printed, _ does not reference SmartPhone object yet.
2
>>> y
<__main__.SmartPhone instance at 0x000000000263B588>
>>> sys.getrefcount(y) # y printed, _ reference SmartPhone object.
3

上面输出的

2, 3应该是1, 2。它们以这种方式打印，因为 getrefcount() 会暂时增加引用计数，如 getrefcount 文档中所述。

我如下更改了 SmartPhone，以便于检查发生了什么。

>>> class SmartPhone(object):
...     def __init__(self, name):
...         self.name = name
...     def __repr__(self):
...         return super(SmartPhone, self).__repr__() + ' name=' + self.name
...     def __del__(self):
...        print "destroyed", self
...
>>> y = SmartPhone('first')
>>> del y # deleted immediately, because only "y" reference it.
destroyed <__main__.SmartPhone object at 0x00000000024FEFD0> name=first
>>> y = SmartPhone('second')
>>> y # at this time, _ reference to second y (y's reference count is now 2)
<__main__.SmartPhone object at 0x00000000024FEFD0> name=second
>>> y
<__main__.SmartPhone object at 0x00000000024FEFD0> name=second
>>> y
<__main__.SmartPhone object at 0x00000000024FEFD0> name=second
>>> del y # not deleted immediately, because _ reference it.
>>> y = SmartPhone('third') # _ still reference the second y, because nothing is printed.
>>> y # second y is deleted, because _ now reference the third y. (no reference to the second y)
destroyed <__main__.SmartPhone object at 0x00000000024FEFD0> name=second
<__main__.SmartPhone object at 0x000000000264A470> name=third
