look at this discussion: http://www.dbforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1100372.html
it looks like we have to use other way, hold the data we want to preseve in an object, because it is possible the class is removed before the instance cleaned, and we can not expect __del__ 100% in handling finalizing process.

That forum helped. I changed this in my code and it worked
def __del__(self):
self.__class__.refcount -= 1
if (self.__class__.refcount == 0):
print "Last table standing"
else:
print "There is/are still %d table(s) left." % self.__class__.refcount
Output: table <__main__.Table instance at 0x009D5B98> refcount = 1 table <__main__.Table instance at 0x009D5BC0> refcount = 2 Supplier returned from a 1: not implemented Supplier returned from b 2: not implemented There are 2 tables active. There are 2 tables active. There is/are still 1 table(s) left. Last table standing
Seems to work allright !
