Ah, sorry. I had misunderstood what you were talking about.
Yes, you're right, a tp_finalize implementation should avoid calling
itself recursively.
If there's some C API that can be added to ease it, I'm ok for adding
it.

Yes.

Then only the Python __del__ gets called. It should call
super().__del__() manually, to ensure the extension type's
tp_finalize gets called.
