You've probably already seen these, but just in case you haven't, there have been two alternatives to __del__ posted recently to the cookbook: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/519621 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/519610 Of course, they have their own sets of problems, but maybe there's something worthwhile in there for the PEP.
