You don't have to manage memory with python, I don't know if you wrote 
C++ in the past (looks like) but consider that python is taking care of 
everything and you'll be fine.

So do not override __del__ (anyway it is not called as you may expect it).


Keep a game_object list only if you need the game to know wich objects 
are in the game, not to keep references.
