Didn't python3 make this non deterministic when del is called?
I thought the recommendation is to not rely on __del__ in python3 code.

Adding __del__ also poses chalenges is you would like to support pypy:
"There are a few extra implications from the difference in the GC. Most
notably, if an object has a __del__, the __del__ is never called more than
once in PyPy; but CPython will call the same __del__ several times if the
object is resurrected and dies again (at least it is reliably so in older
CPythons; newer CPythons try to call destructors not more than once, but
there are counter-examples). The __del__ methods are called in "the right"
order if they are on objects pointing to each other, as in CPython, but
unlike CPython, if there is a dead cycle of objects referencing each
other, their __del__ methods are called anyway; CPython would instead put
them into the list garbage of the gc module."
