晋太元中，武陵人捕鱼为业。缘溪行，忘路之远近。忽逢桃花林，夹岸数百步，中无杂树，芳草鲜美，落英缤纷。渔人甚异之，复前行，欲穷其林。 　　林尽水源，便得一山，山有小口，仿佛若有光。便舍船，从口入。初极狭，才通人。复行数十步，豁然开朗。土地平旷，屋舍俨然，有良田、美池、桑竹之属。阡陌交通，鸡犬相闻。其中往来种作，男女衣着，悉如外人。黄发垂髫，并怡然自乐。 　　见渔人，乃大惊，问所从来。具答之。便要还家，设酒杀鸡作食。村中闻有此人，咸来问讯。自云先世避秦时乱，率妻子邑人来此绝境，不复出焉，遂与外人间隔。问今是何世，乃不知有汉，无论魏晋。此人一一为具言所闻，皆叹惋。余人各复延至其家，皆出酒食。停数日，辞去。此中人语云：“不足为外人道也。”(间隔 一作：隔绝) 　　既出，得其船，便扶向路，处处志之。及郡下，诣太守，说如此。太守即遣人随其往，寻向所志，遂迷，不复得路。 　　南阳刘子骥，高尚士也，闻之，欣然规往。未果，寻病终。后遂无问津者。 .

<p>This module provides an interface to the optional garbage collector.  It
provides the ability to disable the collector, tune the collection frequency,
and set debugging options.  It also provides access to unreachable objects that
the collector found but cannot free.  Since the collector supplements the
reference counting already used in Python, you can disable the collector if you
are sure your program does not create reference cycles.  Automatic collection
can be disabled by calling <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gc.disable()</span></code>.  To debug a leaking program call
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gc.set_debug(gc.DEBUG_LEAK)</span></code>. Notice that this includes
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gc.DEBUG_SAVEALL</span></code>, causing garbage-collected objects to be saved in
gc.garbage for inspection.</p>

<p>The GC classifies objects into three generations depending on how many
collection sweeps they have survived.  New objects are placed in the youngest
generation (generation <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0</span></code>).  If an object survives a collection it is moved
into the next older generation.  Since generation <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">2</span></code> is the oldest
generation, objects in that generation remain there after a collection.  In
order to decide when to run, the collector keeps track of the number object
allocations and deallocations since the last collection.  When the number of
allocations minus the number of deallocations exceeds <em>threshold0</em>, collection
starts.  Initially only generation <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0</span></code> is examined.  If generation <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0</span></code> has
been examined more than <em>threshold1</em> times since generation <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1</span></code> has been
examined, then generation <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1</span></code> is examined as well.  Similarly, <em>threshold2</em>

Python doesn’t collect such cycles automatically because, in general, it isn’t
possible for Python to guess a safe order in which to run the <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__del__" title="object.__del__"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__del__()</span></code></a>

<em>garbage</em> list, and explicitly breaking cycles due to your objects within the
list.  Note that these objects are kept alive even so by virtue of being in the
<em>garbage</em> list, so they should be removed from <em>garbage</em> too.  For example,
after breaking cycles, do <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">del</span> <span class="pre">gc.garbage[:]</span></code> to empty the list.  It’s
generally better to avoid the issue by not creating cycles containing objects
