Is this reliable or will this just confuse the issue?
Python in a Nutshell states "While gc itself can automatically fix many
leaks (as long as you avoid defining __del__ in your classes, since the
existence of __del__ can block cyclic garbage collection), your program runs
faster if it avoids creating cyclic garbage in the first place
