I suppose you mean:
def go(self):
self.__del__()
?

Since b is defined at module level
del b
instead of b.go() might be more appropriate.
Note that "del x" does not call x.__del__(),
it only removes the reference named x from the namespace.
In case the object referred to has it's reference count
go to zero because of the del statement, the __del__
method of the object _may_ be called.
