Does this code create a circular reference ?

[Darrell]

Let the child keep a key to look up the parent.

dic={}

 class child:
   def __init__(self, parent):
     self.parent = parent

   def do_something(self):
     pass

 class headache:
    def __init__(self):
        global dic
        dic[`self`]=self

   def method(self):
     a_child = child(`self`)
     a_child.do_something()
