 From the help:

"""CPython implementation detail: CPython currently uses a 
reference-counting scheme with (optional) delayed detection of 
cyclically linked garbage, which collects most objects as soon as they 
become unreachable, but is not guaranteed to collect garbage containing 
circular references. See the documentation of the gc module for 
information on controlling the collection of cyclic garbage. Other 
implementations act differently and CPython may change. Do not depend on 
immediate finalization of objects when they become unreachable (so you 
should always close files explicitly)."""

Ultimately, the proof of how CPython works is in its source code, which 
is open.
