I did not say they are using  __del__. I was merely pointing out that
not cleaning after yourself violates the rule of the least surprise in
Python. Because (almost) all higher level objects in the standard
library avoid the need for explicit close call.

Yes, you need to be careful and you might get into trouble because of
exception handling, but the simple cases where you catch everything
and delete self should be working just fine.

Any examples? (except __init__ not called and exception handling).
