There is an old patch by Armin Rigo ( python.org/sf/812369 ), which attempts to implement shutdown based on gc, rather than the explicit clearing of modules. It would be good if that could be put to work; I don't know what undesirable side effects doing so would cause. Short of that, I don't think Python needs to support explicit deletion of the encodings module from sys.modules when somebody still has a reference to the search function. Don't do that, then.
