__del__ problem - would adopting Garbage Collection fix this?

[Gordon McMillan]

I think Neil has the correct approach: gc.garbage is a 
development aid. If anything shows up in there, fix the 
classes. Silently ignoring __del__ methods is a great way to 
leak resources, which is worse than leaking memory.
