Calling A Deconstructor

[John Abel]

Hi,

I have a class, with an __init__, and a main function, basically a 
wrapper around smtplib.  I wish to add a __del__ to the class.  Two 
questions:  Do I need to do it this way?  If so, how do I can close the 
instance, so the __del__ is called?  The script will be permanently 
resident, so I wanted to make sure that I didn't have various 
connections open to the smtp server.

Thanks

John
