Will the destructor execute ?

Question

Class Test:
def __init__(self):
print('object initialization')
def __del__(self):
print('object destructor')
t = Test()
t1 = Test()
print('EOA')

OUTPUT
object initialization
object initialization
EOA

When I execute this program in my python 3.10 ide, I am getting the above output.But, when I execute this in other online compilers, I am getting the output as

object initialization
object initialization
EOA
object destructor
object destructor

I checked the version used by the online compiler. It's 3.8. So is this behavior depend upon version ?

Answer 1

I never used an IDE, but I assume it leaves the environment open so you can run python commands after your script finishes, so you can see values of variables declared in your script - useful for debugging. Thus, it doesn't destroy objects.

I used to run scripts from command prompt with:

python -i script.py

for the same effect.

Answer 2

Guess: online compiler will del all of the object and end programme, which is different from your self ide.
