However, the behavior of Python code using objects with __del__ has changed nevertheless: they are collectible now, and __del__ is always called exactly once, if I understand everything correctly.
Yes, I think so. There is a *highly obscure* corner case: __del__ will still be called several times if you declare your class with "__slots__=()". Even on "post-PEP-0442" Python 3.4+? Could you share a link please?
Thanks, Valentine
