I would like to commit this change but I'm not sure if it is a good time in the development cycle or if anyone has objections to the idea. Please speak up if you have input.

Have you tried to remove the various hacks/workarounds in the stdlib that currently avoid module finalization problems? (take a look at e.g. threading.py) It would be a good validation that the patch improves on the current behaviour.

Regards

Antoine.
