Oh, I forgot to say that the simplest way to fix the regression is to revert this commit... As I wrote modifying the code to cleanup Python at exit is risky, and it's maybe too late to do that in Python 2.7?

The risk of regression caused by 7741d0dd66ca is maybe higher than the benefit of the enhancement? :-(
