rocksdb dealloc error

[iFA88]

Greetings! With the latest master of python-rocksdb and with v5.18.3 of RocksDB I get this error on exit even when I use column families or not:

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'clear'
Exception AttributeError: "'list' object has no attribute 'clear'" in 'rocksdb._rocksdb.DB.__dealloc__' ignored

Can you provide the sample code to reproduce this problem?

Its simple, i got this for every deallocation:

root@debian:/mnt# python
Python 2.7.13 (default, Sep 26 2018, 18:42:22) 
[GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux2

>>> import rocksdb
>>> opt = rocksdb.Options(create_if_missing=True)
>>> db = rocksdb.DB("/tmp/test1221", opt)
>>> del db
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'clear'

I am going to release a newer version of python-rocksdb in a few days. It should provide the basic functions.

for the current version of python-rocksdb, I would suggest that you should not manually deallocate the instance.

I think the problem is, that I'm using python 2.7 and list.clear() is added in python 3.3.

I recommend to using: del list[:]
