That does not make it ok to have del called several time, does it?
That's a tricky question.
If the Python documentation now says something like ``the __del__
method is never called more than once on the same instance'' without
acknowledging this corner case, then it could be regarded as
documentation bug. I didn't check, though. But feel free to open an
issue and mention everything I said above, if you want to.
I've checked the places I remembered, but didn't find any guarantees for
__del__ to be called exactly once in general. Looks like it was only
important to ensure safe finalization.
Looks a bit inconsistent though so it's probably appropriate to file the
report.
