Ah, you're right. There is always the case where objects are
reachable from a cycle (even if they are not *inside* a cycle
themselves). Even on CPython, one thread can make purely thread-local
objects in this situation. Then the cycle can be broken in an
unrelated thread and the __del__ called from there.
A bientôt,
Armin.
