The only garbage collected language I'm used to is Java, so the example of how to make it work looked perfectly natural to me. Interesting.

This is done by reference counting. But in the example above it fails, because the reference count of alpha is not increased when creating the Behaviour and the reference count of Behaviour is not increased when applying it to obj. So basically this is an error in the python binding of clutter. well generally you don’t have to deal with scope in python, since the garbage collector figures out when to clean up the variable on its own.

Wouldn't this happen any time you have to deal with scope? Or does Python's implementation of scope deviate widely from every other language? How is this specific to clutter?
