I haven't been able to spend any time on this. But the general approach I 
wanted to check is as follows:

Test 1 (to check registry operation):
1. Use an example which embeds (not extends) python.
2. Register a type X to be converted to C++ type XC.
3. Perform some operations to verify that step 2 works.
4. Call PyFinalize.
5. Restart python vising PyInit...
6. Check that X does not convert to XC.

Test 2 (to check object cleanup):
1. Hold weak pointers to some shared_ptr<T> objects exposed to python.
2. Call PyFinalize.
3. Ensure that all the weak_ptrs point to deleted objects.

Let me think about this some more. Please try pinging Dave A directly to make 
sure he has no tests for you to try.
