The reason is that, when you execute "del self.next", this removes the
last reference to self.next and destroys it immediately.
So even more contrived:
class Node:
def __init__(self, x):
self.x = x
self.next = None
def __del__(self):
print(self.x, self.next.x)
del self.x
a = Node(1)
b = Node(2)
a.next = b
b.next = a
del a, b
gc.collect()
