there is no answer to your question. Python works as specified in
the language specification, and the language specification makes
no guarantees.  changes in the CPython interpreter has affected
finalization order before, and may do it again.  nobody will break
your code on purpose, but if it relies on implementation artefacts,
it will break, sooner or later.

you haven't answered my question, btw: why are you using __del__
to do something that the garbage collector should do for you?
