This almost worked. I need to make sure I use the local reference to the
modules in the __del__ method:

	def __init__(self):
		self.cstruct=PyGridc.newcstruct(...)

		#Keep reference to module inside class
   		self.PyGridc = PyGridc 

	def __del__(self)
		#Use local reference to module
		self.PyGridc.deletecstruct(self.cstruct)


Cheers,
