Did you know that exceptions are ignored in the __del__() method?
One way to verify that your __del__() runs to completion would be to make
the line.count decrement the last statement, and check the total line.count
after the rotation again.
Generally speaking the __del__() method is not the most robust cleanup
mechanism. Maybe you can add a line.delete() method and change your program
flow for it to be called explicitly when the line should no longer be
visible.
