The Python runtime may expect you to call handle Python exceptions 
explicitely, prior to finalizing.

If you got 0 here, Python has set an exception. Before moving on you 
should handle it, for example by explicitely clearing it:

PyErr_Clear();

With the above addition, the Python runtime should finalize fine.
