Python garbage collection and gtk windows -


in following program have button spawns popup. simple enough. connect main window's delete-event gtk.main_quit() closing main window closes program.

without keep running until kill process (as evidenced occupied cli prompt) question is: happens popup window when click away?

is window automatically being destroyed @ delete-event or hide , linger somewhere in memory until program ends?

#!/usr/bin/python3 gi.repository import gtk  class mainwin(gtk.window):     def __init__(self):         gtk.window.__init__(self)         button = popupbutton()         self.add(button)         self.show_all();         self.connect("delete-event", gtk.main_quit)  class popupbutton(gtk.button):     def __init__(self):         gtk.button.__init__(self, label="popup")         self.connect("clicked", self.clicked)      def clicked(self, widget):         win = popupwindow()         win.set_transient_for(self.get_toplevel())         win.show()  class popupwindow(gtk.window):     def __init__(self):         gtk.window.__init__(self)         self.add(gtk.label(label="popups! popups everyone!"))         self.show_all()  win = mainwin() win.show() gtk.main() 

the default response delete-event signal destroy window. so, unless you're handling signal, popup window destroyed.
