</div>Adding __del__ methods causes the object to become uncollectable if it<br>
forms part of a reference cycle. Thus it is almost always a bad idea<br>
to add __del__ methods when attempting to debug a space leak, as the<br>
most likely outcome is that you introduce a _new_, _different_ leak to<br>
the one you are trying to debug.<br>
