Is this a bug with __del__()

You should be able to design your example so that
the last reference to your instance goes away at
a predictable moment, e.g.

  print "Creating an instance"
  x = ClassFoo()
  print "Discarding the instance"
  x = None
  print "Finished"

That gives:

Creating an instance
Discarding the instance
Delete called
Finished
