If the Python documentation now says something like ``the __del__
method is never called more than once on the same instance'' without
acknowledging this corner case, then it could be regarded as
documentation bug.  I didn't check, though.  But feel free to open an
issue and mention everything I said above, if you want to.


A bientôt,

Armin.
