PyPy breaks cycles randomly. I think a pretty comprehensive description of what
happens is here:

Well, we specifically decided that objects with __del__ methods that
are part of a cycle cannot be run.
The same reasoning was applied to generators, if they are in a certain state.
What makes iobase so special that its 'close' method can be run even
if it is part of a cycle?
It's a hack,
Hello there.
For those familiar with the intricacies of the gcmodule.c, I would like to draw
your attention to http://bugs.python.org/issue9141.
I would like to consult with you to find out more about finalizers/gc in order
to improve the in-file documentation.
Traditionally, it has not been
What I want to know is, why is this limitation in place? Here are
two possibilities:
1) The order of calling finalizers in a cycle is undefined so
it is not a solvable problem. But this would allow a single
object, with only internal cycles to be collected. Currently this
is not

No, that's not the case at all. As Antoine explains in the issue, there are
plenty of ways in which Python code can be run when breaking a cycle. Not
only weakrefs, but also objects released as a consequence of tp_clear which
weren't *in* the cycle (but hung
